message: 1. WTF is "watergas?" Is this Martian for "steam?"
* According to Mirriam-Webster, water gas is "a poisonous flammable gaseous mixture that consists chiefly of carbon monoxide and hydrogen with small amounts of methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen, is usually made by blowing air and then steam over red-hot coke or coal, and is used as a fuel or after carbureting as an illuminant". I believe the correct usage is two words. --User:Haligonian1 7 June 2006

message: The article writes:"A typical hydrogen demand is ~8 kg hydrogen per ton of dry, ash-free coal". Well, just 8 Kg of hydrogen won't transform a ton of lignite into syntetic oil.Agre22 (talk) 01:58, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The last sentence:
"The objection to it by big oil in Houston was that the cost estimates for commercial production were so low that the corporations' oilfield resources would be rendered worthless, therefore the program had to be terminated to protect the profits of big oil."
May or may not be true, but definitely is not the sort of thing to include in this sort of article. An in depth discussion of the economics of utilizing this process today would be informative, and the reader can draw their own conclusions regarding the political influence of industry groups.
On an aside, if the technology could really render all conventional oil fields useless, it would be incredibly profitable to own and operate a plant utilizing it. Eventually if enough plants were built the demand for coal and the availibility of liquid fuels would increase, thus making the whole thing less profitable. It really is a question of the price of coal and catalysts versus the price of oil that will influence whether the process is implemented commercially or not.
If something cannot be cited or verified, it should not be mentioned in the article. Or at least use the words "certain people have alleged that...".
If the allegation is true then provide a reference for it, otherwise it is speculation and rather biased against the "big oil" - whatever that is.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.81.135.128 (talk) 13:59, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

message: I'm no fan of "Big Oil" either but on WP we must author for a neutral POV, obviously. Can the person connected with the original authorship go in and 'fix' the issue here. Otherwise, this is a quite notable topic. Thanks. 99.32.160.175 (talk) 01:53, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
