Subject: alternative energy
I am looking for info on a breakthrough process which turns abundant
natural gas into oil, "white crude," free of impurities that cause
pollution. The process comes from the Fischer-Tropsch process with
catalysis, and the cost is supposedly $15 to $20 per barrel.
The company is SLH Corp, a spin-off from Seafield Capital Corp. SLH
owns Syntroleum Corp. Exxon has plans to get into the business.
Is this another oil-shale scam? Any info will be appreciated.
