On-again, off-again support for CTL shakes people's faith Neither the coal industry or environmental groups can say for sure what Obama's next move on coal will be. Everyone else is keen on coal-to-liquids (CTL) While some politcians hem and haw over the value of a strong coal industry, many others are pushing forward. For example, NMA President, Kraig Naasz, published an unflinching editorial in USA Today advocating for CTL research. The National Research Council published a report calling for increased funding for research and development of our coal resource Senate Republican Leader, Mitch McConnell came out strongly in favor of the Bunning CTL amendment to the (then) pending Energy Bill PWC report on mining predicts another good year The PriceWatherhouseCoopers report "Mine" looks at the world's 40 largest mining companies and predicts many good things. Rentech & Denbury to use CO₂ in Enhanced Oil Recovery Rentech has inked a deal to supply Denbury Resources with CO₂ for enhanced oil recovery.
