wenn es die besagte naked short position gibt und davon bin nicht nur ich überzeugt, ist diese ilegal und wird auf der Seite mit Sicherheit nicht auftauchen. Erinnert Ihr Euch noch an die News von vor einem Jahr in der stand, wieviele Aktien in etwa short sind ?

wartet mal ich werde heute mal versuchen sie zu finden und erneut zu posten aber das ändert nichts daran das ich eine News sehen zum Green Fuel sehen will.
 

in seinem bericht "old king coal and a pot of gold" vom 9.märz d.j. schrieb david zurbuchen auch von riesigen shotpositionen-

sind aber alles nur vermutungen und schätzungen-
es gibt keine verläßlichen angaben - beim illegalen shorten eh nicht.
bin mir auch nicht sicher, ob die überhaupt existiert.

@sway - na dann viel erfolg bei deiner recherche!

gruß - kl.  

Manchmal sind die Geschäftsführer
selbst in Short-Aktionen verwickelt...

Hoffe, dass Anselmo nicht auch mit den
Shorties unter einer Decke steckt.

Noch zwei Tage, dann ist der September rum!
Anselmo muss bis Freitag eine mail zum aktuellen
STand bei Green Fuel verkünden, sonst macht er sich
noch unglaubwürdiger! Die Goldnews von dieser Woche reichen
da nicht aus! Also entweder heute oder morgen kommen News...  

Danke kleinlieschen mit Deiner Hilfe hat es ja nicht lange gedauert... ;)

Coal: It's Important Stuff

Surprisingly enough, it was coal that energized the development of America as a young nation. Coal did this by warming homes, fueling factories, and powering mighty trains and ships which in turn served to transform American into an economic giant. And this is precisely why coal earned its nickname of the 19th century, "King Coal".

But times have changed, and with them perceptions. Coal is seen as a dirty form of energy that should be limited in its use in industrialized nations who are able to effectively utilize oil, natural gas, solar energy, etc.

No doubt these perceptions pose a very formidable obstacle for coal’s reemergence as a more significant* source of America’s energy, but all this is steadily changing with the advent of coal liquification technology. Amazingly, recent developments have been made that can turn solid, dark and dirty coal into a clean, liquid fuel very similar in form to crude oil. Called “Green Fuel” by Silverado, it could help tremendously in solving the problem of US dependency on foreign oil imports.

*Currently over 50% of US electricity is generated by the direct burning of coal.

Coal is America’s only fossil energy resource abundant enough to be considered a strategic fuel, but in order to fully qualify it must exist in a liquid form as it can then be used in a wider variety of applications with minimal environmental effects.

Currently the United States is home to over 25% of the world’s coal reserves. In fact, the United States possesses some 275 billion tons of estimated recoverable coal reserves, an amount equal to all the world’s proved oil reserves! As you can observe from the chart below, this is the largest coal reserve in the world.

Above Source: http://www.affordable-energy.org/key_points/dependence.asp

World Recoverable Coal Resources Pie Chart

Above Source: http://www.ultracleanfuels.com/html/about.htm

Furthermore, the US has 475 billion tons of coal in its demonstrated reserve base, an amazing 1,600 billion tons of identified resources, and an additional 1,600 billion tons of postulated resources!

It seems foolish not to better exploit this cheap and prolific energy source, if only it were possible to do so while causing minimal harm to the environment. Silverado’s Green Fuel project may have the answer. By converting coal into its liquid form, it can then be used in existing oil infrastructure, for handling, storage and transportation, such as pipelines.

For every ton of coal processed in this manner, Silverado can produce about 2.53 barrels of oil equivalent, and it may be possible to further refine the process and bring this conversion number higher. Remember that the US has about 275 billion tons of recoverable coal reserves. If we multiply this number by 2.53, we arrive at a phenomenal amount of oil equivalent, 695.75 billion barrels!

An elephant field, in oil tycoon jargon, is equivalent to 1-2 billion barrels. Finds like these are phenomenal, and they make men and companies rich. Well, here we have almost potential 700 elephants sitting right under our noses, seriously challenging the OPEC cartel.

The US currently imports about 10 million barrels of oil per day. With 696.75 billion barrels of oil equivalent using estimated recoverable coal reserves, the US by itself could fuel its economic machine for over 190 years without the need to import any oil, assuming consumption levels remain constant (this calculation is not meant to be taken literally, but merely as an illustration of coal’s unrealized potential). I won’t do the math, but if coal resources are in excess of 1.6 trillion tons as is estimated by the US Geological Survey reports, and if these coal resources can be mined feasibly even if it takes a higher price environment, then even with energy demand on the rise the US would be able to supply her energy needs without the need for significant foreign imports for quite a long time.

Above Source: worldenergy.org/wecgeis/publications/reports/ser/coal/coal.asp

Silverado has determined that they can produce this same liquefied coal at an average cost of about $15/barrel of oil equivalent. This is dirt cheap at today’s oil prices, but the idea didn’t really start to gain momentum until last year. Remember that the average price for crude in 1999 was just $12/barrel, in 2001 just $23/barrel, in 2003 just $28/barrel. It wasn’t until 2004 that the average price rose above $30/barrel, standing at $37/barrel for the year. Now with prices upwards of $60/barrel there is finally enough incentive to pursue alternative sources, that is, to justify the cost of research, development, and infrastructure changes. This leads me to believe that the government funding sought by Silverado for some time now will arrive shortly, or perhaps even from individual state governments themselves who are anxious to further exploit their large coal deposits.

Of course, this $15/barrel of oil equivalent figure does not tack on administrative expenses which might add on another $5-$10/barrel. Furthermore, the price of liquid coal will need to undercut the market price of crude by 10-20% in order to stimulate demand. Even so, with crude oil trading at about $65/barrel the margin of profit on Silverado’s green fuel would still range between $27-$39/barrel.

With all this in mind, it seems to me that Silverado’s Green Fuel division could someday (perhaps sooner than we think) be bought out by a major like Exxon or Chevron who are over eager to replenish their diminishing oil reserves. With China and others bidding up oil projects all over the world and old oil deposits drying up, Silverado appears to be in the catbird seat as long as this trend continues.

And Silverado isn’t a newcomer when it comes to management. Dr. Wilson, the Vice President of Silverado Green Fuel has over 30 years of experience in energy-related fuel consulting having written hundred of scientific papers on the subject (click here to read his impressive resume http://www.silverado.com/warrack/). In addition, Garry Anselmo, the Chairman, CEO, and President of the Silverado Gold Mines, has been with the company since its inception over 30 years ago. He’s holding on to his shares (mostly options) in anticipation of 33 years of hard work finally paying off. With the company having to live through a 20 year bear market in the commodities sector, namely gold, this gives the new investor some idea of this company’s tenacious character.

Currently, all executives and directors of Silverado hold about 13.3% of the company, or in other words about 64 million shares (this includes options and warrants). The benefits of insider ownership are somewhat obvious in any company, since failure to succeed translates into significant negative financial consequences for both the shareholders and executives/directors.
Progress, Slowly but Surely

In a news release dated November 17, 2005, Silverado reported the following:

   “On August 8th the President signed into law the Energy Bill which contains language authorizing the Denali Commission to utilize its funding for the Low-Rank Coal-Water Fuel Project proposed by Silverado. Specifically, section 356 states that the ‘Commission shall use amounts made available...to carry out energy programs, including...projects using coal as a fuel, including coal gasification projects.’”

Included in the bill was $50 million for the Alaska Denali Commission. This was a wonderful surprise to Silverado since hurricane Katrina and Rita resulted in expenditure cuts of several billion dollars in thousands of other business pursuits. Quotes from this same news release follow:

   "We look forward to working with the leadership of the Denali Commission to move the LRCWF project ahead,…Anselmo continued, "In addition, we have been in discussions with leaders in a number of states who have expressed interest in placing our demonstration plants in their states as well. We are excited about the prospect of making several important announcements in the near future once the details are finalized."

Green Fuel and the Demonstration Plant

   “Silverado's Green Fuel Demonstration Project will show the economic feasibility and environmental superiority, of converting Low Rank Coals into a stable liquid fuel that can be used efficiently…”

   “Silverado’s Green Fuel is not a new fuel, but a new fuel form…[one that] eliminates all of the utilization and environmental problems associated with bulk coal handling and use.”

   “The technical feasibility of producing and utilizing Silverado’s Green Fuel…has been demonstrated on a pilot plant-scale. This fuel performed excellent in combustion tests...”

   “Just outside of Fairbanks, Alaska, Silverado Green Fuel Inc., has an idled gold recovery plant on location with nearly half of the equipment necessary for a demonstration plant. Adjacent buildings surrounding the main structure have ample space to accommodate the remaining equipment. The estimated cost for a three-year production and utilization demonstration of Silverado’s Green Fuel is $20 MM.”

http://www.silverado.com/fueloverview.htm

Silverado Green Fuel intends to generate revenue primarily from sales of its green fuel to utility and industrial oil users and sales of equipment and instrumentation made to developing nations, particularly Asia and Eastern Europe.

   “The last step required to commercialize this promising technology is to complete Silverado’s Demonstration Facility.”

For an in-depth review of the coal liquification process see: http://www.silverado.com/fuelprocess.htm
How Long? How Long?

Once funding of $10-$20 million is received, within days Silverado can begin building the demonstration plant. It is impossible to know when funding will arrive, but I hypothesize that it will arrive within a few months time.

Once the demonstration plant is completed (estimated 3-6 months), it will run for 1 year in order to fine tune, optimize, and adjust the Low-Rank Coal-Water Fuel process. At this point, plans can drawn up for the construction of a commercial plant. This commercial plant could start being constructed (3-5 years to build), while the demonstration plant enters into its second year of operation (on a small commercial scale).

Thus, it appears that a commercial plant could be fully built and ready for use just 4 years after the necessary funds arrive to fund the demonstration plant.

This commercial plant would be built to produce an estimated 50 million barrels of oil equivalent per year. At a profit margin of $30/barrel, that equates to $1.5 billion. Though it isn’t very likely at this point that Silverado itself will own the commercial plant, Silverado will likely receive both a construction fee and royalty fees for fuel and services. Furthermore, plants like this could multiply across the nation and perhaps even the world if they prove to be as successful as Silverado expects. If this happens, the royalties alone could prove enormous; especially when considering that the current market capitalization of Silverado is only about $63 million fully diluted.

In any event, the royalties from Silverado’s green fuel project would prove more than adequate to further develop their Alaskan mineral properties which are thought to hold the potential for several million ounces of gold, if not more.
Regarding Competition

It is thought that too much expertise and capital would be required for competitors to initially take away the business from Silverado. And if Silverado penetrates the market first, then they would likely become the ‘Standard Oil’ of ‘liquid coal’.
WARNING: The Dilution Trap

In order to be honest in my coverage, I must comment on what I see as a dangerous dilution habit. Excessive amounts of shares have been issued since 2000 after the 1:10 reverse split in 1999. Though a large share does tend to attract institutional investors because of increased liquidity, it is nonetheless a sometimes subtle form of inflation that eats away shareholder value.

(The following numbers are not fully diluted unless stated otherwise)

   * Share count 03/08/00 - 16 million
         o Market Value $3.5 million
   * Share count 11/30/01 – 42 million
         o Estimated Market Value of $5.5 million (using $.13/share)
   * Share count 11/30/02 – 98 million
         o Estimated Market Value of 12.7 million (using $.13/share)
   * Share count 11/30/03 – 146 million
         o Estimated Market Value of $29.0 million (using $.20/share)
   * Share count 11/30/04 – 224 million
         o Estimated Market Value of $15.7 million (using $.07/share)
   * Share count 11/30/05 – 355 million
         o Estimated Market Value of $14.2 million (using $.04/share)
   * Share count 02/22/06 – 438 million
         o Market Value of $70.0 million (using $.16/share)

Today’s market value using the fully diluted share count of 532 million* is about $62 million.

*This number includes 94 million options and warrants, most of which are exercisable for several years at $.05/share (meaning they are extremely likely to be exercised even if the share price remains stagnant).

From the above we can see that the share count was diluted by a factor of about 27 in the period 2000-2006, and that at the same time the market value of Silverado grew by a factor of about 17.

I must stress that these numbers concern me.

However, if we realize that in the year 2000 the Green Fuel division of Silverado was just launched, gold was under $300/ounce, and oil was under $20/barrel, it becomes somewhat more acceptable to expect the market value of the company to increase by such a large multiple. Remember also that Silverado Gold in the year 2000 seemed to be significantly undervalued (like so many other junior companies at the time), having a market capitalization of just $3.5 million.

With significant revenues from Silverado’s Nolan Gold Project expected to be realized in the second half of this year as the gold nuggets are washed, and the expectation that government funding will soon be realized, the value of this company could easily go ‘exponential’ once again. Hopefully the revenues from the increased gold operations will be significant enough to avoid more significant dilution in the future. If dilution can be avoided, then the increase in market value will actually be reflected in the share price, imagine that!

But if dilution continues and the $20 million funding for the demonstration plant becomes a long and tortuous waiting game, then I think it is reasonable to expect that Silverado’s share price will slip back into the $.04-$.05/share trading range for however long it takes, a 60% retrenchment from these levels.

Please realize that I am not invested in Silverado for its gold potential. I believe there are much better opportunities out there for gold explorers. Progress on the green fuel project is what I am interested in seeing. Any news related to significant gold discovery is just icing on the cake, and will hopefully generate further interest in this company from the on looking investment community as the green fuel project progresses.
A Naked Shorts Paradise?

It is estimated that there may be as many as 1 billion shares short on Silverado stock, a result of the long bear market and a well disciplined attempt by the market makers to bankrupt this company. This means that downward pressure in the past will become rocket power in the future if positive developments are in the cards.

In short: keep your eyes peeled on Silverado in the coming months, but as always, don’t bet the farm.

wie soll sowas funktionieren?
kann ich mir nicht vorstellen-
dazu reicht meine kenntnis nicht aus.

m.m.n. haben shorties seit dem letzten höchststand von 0,18$

extra Thread auf ;)  

http://www.rgm.com/articles/NCANSSeptember18,2006-SHOletter.pdf

viel Spass beim lesen. Da bleibt kein Auge trocken und bleibt kaum ne Frage offen aber es ist, wie fast alles das helfen kann in Englisch.  

 

du weisst die 35 seiten doch bestimmt auswendig ;-)
und kannst uns eine gute kurzinfo geben (sülz ;-)))

gruß - kl.  

ehrlich bin habe ich sie noch nicht einmal zu einem zehntel gelesen.

Ich verhalte mich da ähnlich, wie ein überzeugter Christ. Die Wahrheit steht in der Bibel und das ist Fakt. -Frage,: "Haben Sie die Bibel schon gelesen ?" - Antwort, : "Nein, wozu ?"

Falls mich jemand in meinem Glauben erschüttern möchte kann er sich ja gerne alles durchlesen und mir die Stelle zeigen in der steht das ich mich irre aber bis dahin, bin ich in meinem Glauben unerschütterlich. *grins*

und falls jemand die Stelle finden sollte mache ich es, wie Schröder und sage, :" Sehen Sie das habe ich doch immer schon gesagt"! " -kleiner Scherz, ich kann mich mit Gerd nicht auf eine Stufe stellen. ;)  

Das ist vielleicht auch besser so, denn Schröder lässt halt nicht gerne jemanden neben ihm stehen, schon gar nicht darüber....aber die Stufen unter ihm sind dafür frei ;)!
Gruß, k.  

ich kann mich nicht mit ihm auf eine Stufe stellen weil ich nicht weiss, wie ich wieder runter kommen soll und vor allem auch nicht weiss was das für einen Sinn machen würde ;)

 

Versteht jemand, wie der Kurs seit der
Anhörung so weit runter gehen konnte?
Vorher extremste Käufe, seit Juni ging
der Umsatz zurück, doch die Käufe und
Verkäufe hielten sich doch anscheinend
in Relation! Dennoch ein Kursrückgang,
der ganz schön heftig war!

ALso: Kaum Verkäufe, trotzdem fiel der Kurs...

Green Fuel hin oder her, Silverado bietet
doch wohl extrem viel Fantasie, die dem
Wert neue Impulse geben können, oder?

Bin gespannt auf heute und auf nächste Woche...
 

Fantasie ist schön, fundamentales ist wichtiger und da hat Silverado inzwischen genug von.

das wird, keine Sorge und Du bist doch eh long, so kurze Zocks sind doch nich Deine Sache.




 

Nächste Woche muß die News kommen sonst sieht es schlecht aus!
Wer weiss welche Auswirkungen es sonst auf den Kurs haben wird...  

es gut und nicht schlecht aus...

Schau in die USA ;)  

Der vorraussichtliche Termin indem die News raus kommen sollte läuft diese Woche ab...
Was ich meinte war, dass es eventuell die, die investiert sind etwas beunruhigen könnte, sodass es zu Verkäufen kommt.

Wenn ich mich irren sollte sagt bescheid!

2. Oktober 2006 - Fairbanks, Alaska, USA - Vancouver, BC, Kanada SILVERADO - OTCBB: SLGLF / Frankfurt: SLGL / Berlin: SLGL

Bei jüngsten Probebohrungen in einem Teil der Slisco Bench im Bereich des Hammond River (Abb. 1, siehe unter http://www.silverado.com/slisco-fig1.htm) des Nolan-Projektes wurden hochgehaltige und sehr ergiebige Flussgoldvorkommen gefunden. Insgesamt wurden in der Slisco Bench im Rahmen des Explorationsprogramms in diesem Sommer 39 Bohrungen durchgeführt. Die Bohrlöcher wurden mit einer Schramm 'All Terrain"-Bohrausrüstung im umgekehrten Spülbohrverfahren hergestellt. Alle Bohrlöcher drangen bis zu 4.782 Fuß in das Grundgestein vor. Dabei wurden Probebohrabstände von jeweils 5 bis 10 Fuß eingehalten. Die gesamte Probe wurde vor Ort mit einem 'Denver Gold Saver" verarbeitet, um ein Mineralkonzentrat herzustellen (Sulfide, Felsgesteinpartikel +/- Gold). Dieses Konzentrat wurde eingepackt, etikettiert und zwecks Wäsche und Feststellung des Feingehalts zu unserem Labor am Standort transportiert. Alle gefundenen Goldpartikel und Goldklumpen wurden gewogen.

Die Bohrergebnisse bestätigen das Goldvorkommen in den früheren Bohrbereichen und haben zur Identifzierung eines Flussgold-Kanals geführt, der sich auf eine Länge von 1.800 Fuß erstreckt (Abb. 2, siehe unter http://www.silverado.com/slisco-fig2.htm). Der Kanal ist nach Südosten hin offen und es gibt Hinweise auf einen oder mehrere Nebenkanäle, die in der nächsten Saison untersucht werden sollen. Innerhalb des Slisco Channels tritt das Flussgold im Grundgestein und etwa 20 Fuß oberhalb des Festgesteinkanals auf. Die Dicke der Abbauschichten beträgt zwischen 5 und 10 Fuß. Bis heute wurden 20 von 39 Bohrlöchern ausgewertet und auf Flussgold analysiert. Aus dieser Gruppe von 20 Bohrlöchern zeigen 11 eindeutig sichtbares Gold mit einem Gehalt zwischen 0,009 und 0,495 Troy-Unzen pro Kubikyard. In der Tabelle 1 werden Ergebnisse mit mindestens 0,01 Troy-Unzen pro Kubikyard Abtrag aufgeführt.

Die Goldanalysen für die übrigen Bohrlöcher sind noch nicht abgeschlossen. Die Ergebnisse werden veröffentlicht, sobald sie vorliegen.

Die höheren Flussgoldvorkommen in beiden Abbauschichten befinden sich im linken Grenzbereich der Slisco Bench. Die bisherigen ermutigenden Ergebnisse der Probebohrungen sowie die Möglichkeit einer Verlängerung des Kanals zum Südosten hin und die potentielle Entdeckung goldhaltiger Nebenkanäle eröffnen viel versprechende Aussichten für weitere Entdeckungen im nächsten Jahr.

Da das derzeitige Wetter weitere Arbeiten an unserem Nolan-Projekt erlaubt, setzen wir unser umfassendes Explorationsprogramm für 2006 fort. Wir konzentrieren uns dabei auf die nördliche und südliche Erweiterung des Mary East Projektes sowie unser neu erworbenes Flussgold-Gelände. Erste 'Lode Gold"-Bohrprogramme am Solomons Shear Projekt (Abb. 1) sind ebenfalls für dieses Jahr geplant, so dass wir sowohl von unserem Flussgold- als auch von unserem 'Lode Gold"-Programm aufregende Neuigkeiten erwarten.

in ganz besonders vielverprechender Weise...

ganz kurz, es geht darum das es immer schwieriger wird Gold zu fördern da die alten Gruben immer weniger her geben. Auch wird auf politische Probleme hingewiesen, wie z.B. Sperrung von Kapital durch die Reg. von Uzbekistan. WIe das "dichtmachen" der Grube. Es müssen immer grössere Risiken eingegangen werden um Gold zu fördern.

Demensprechend wird auch das Potential enscheidend sein und hier kommt Silverado ins Spiel. Gewaltiges Potential ein komplette Infrastruktur und ein erfahrenes Management.

Zeit bullish zu sein.... ;)

Da diese Risiken aber in Ländern, wie den USA, Canada, Mexico u.a. nicht in dem Maase oder gar nicht bestehen werden minen in diesen Ländern immer wichtiger werden.


Newmont Mining Announcement Is Very Positive For the Juniors In Stable Places
2006-10-02
By Greg McCoach

DENVER, CO -- The announcement by Newmont Mining on Thursday that the company would be cutting its gold sales forecast through 2007 is a very bullish sign for the junior gold exploration business.

Newmont estimated equity gold sales between 5.6 million ounces and 5.8 million ounces in 2006, down from an earlier estimate of 5.9 million ounces to 6.2 million ounces.

The company also forecast equity gold sales between 5.2 million ounces and 5.6 million ounces for 2007, a significant drop from market expectations.

This decrease in production was cited because of older mines maturing and producing less, electrical shortages in Ghana, sale of a Canadian mine, and geopolitical concerns in countries where the company does business.

In Uzbekistan, Newmont has said government authorities were trying to seize part of its Zarafshan-Newmont joint venture.

Newmont said the Uzbekistan Government has frozen its bank accounts and blocked shipments from its mine. Newmont CEO, Wayne Murdy said, "the dispute will be handled through international arbitration". In the meantime, however the gold production from that mine will not be coming to market.

In the past decade, in order to keep up with production and demand, the majors have had to accept political risk to get at the properties that contain enough gold for their operations and goals.

As they have taken this approach, the majors have had to deal with more and more legal and geopolitical problems as they do business in these far away places.

As we can see from the Newmont announcement, this is affecting their ability to deliver ounces to market. I believe this will heighten the need to find ounces closer to home in areas that don't represent so much risk. The juniors that have properties in politically acceptable places are well poised to be the big winners.
What this announcement means to me is that any junior that can find significant ounces of gold in a stable country like, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Chile, will be an immediate take over target by a major.

All of the majors are simply in a situation where they need to bring on new ounces of gold and soon. Since they are not making these discoveries themselves, they have to turn to the juniors for these new discoveries.

Typically, the juniors make the discoveries because the talented people who know how to find large economic deposits of gold want to work for themselves instead of a major.

The reason for that is simple, if a geologist working for a junior makes a discovery, the payoff can be in the millions or even tens of millions, while an exploration geologist working for a major that makes a discovery gets a pat on the back, and maybe a new office with a window!

The junior companies with projects in the safer geopolitical locations around the world stand to do best in my opinion. Right now there are many good juniors that offer screaming value to investors if they know what to look for.

Right now there are many well-funded juniors, that are staffed by some of the best exploration talent in the industry who control the most prospective properties. These projects are being advanced at a pace that has never before been seen.

The supply/demand fundamentals, along with many other positive factors for gold, are all pointing to higher prices. I remain confident that gold prices will be reaching for new highs before the end of the year, and that the mining companies will follow gold's lead.

Now is time to be adding to existing positions or getting new positions in the junior gold companies that represent real value. The rewards for the junior companies who can prove up new ounces will be spectacular as the majors come in with their take-over bids.
And the bidding may get quite high as competing majors are forced to acquire these projects. In my opinion, from what I have just read in the Newmont announcement, that day is coming very soon!

willst (bin nicht so ein erfolgreicher Börsenhai, wie Du) aber ich lasse mich bei dieser Aktie vom Kurs in keinster Weise nervös machen und du würdest weinen wenn Du wüsstest was das zur Zeit für mich bedeuted. Ich sehe nur das was ist und die Aussichten für Silverado und die empfinde ich mehr als hervoragend. Der Kurs ist Spiegel einer Gruppe von Personen die mehr als ihren Einsatz zu verlieren haben. Was macht ein Zocker wenn er Schulden bei einem Hai hat diese aber nicht bezahlen kann ? - Genau, noch mehr Schulden bei einem Anderen und so weiter bis er irgendwann auf der Strasse liegt und beide Beine gebrochen hat. Bald Burnsi, bald isses so weit... ;)

Congress should promote coal to liquids technology to increase energy independence
By Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Va.)

With gasoline prices at the forefront of the national energy debate, it is appropriate that Congress consider measures that would reduce our nation’s dependence on imported oil. One way that we can accomplish this goal is to incent the use of coal-to-liquids technologies that can replace petroleum in powering transportation.

There is a proven technology that enables the conversion of coal to liquid fuel. Coal liquefaction has been in use since World War II. In fact, today South Africa is using coal liquefaction to produce approximately 40 percent of its transportation fuels.

The technology is economic when crude-oil prices are approximately $40 per barrel. Oil prices are much higher than that benchmark, and the Energy Information Administration forecasts that prices for crude oil will remain above this level for the foreseeable future. In addition, our nation has an abundance of coal, with reserves of approximately 250 billion tons.

Given these economics and the benefit of moving closer to energy independence, there is great potential in converting coal to liquid fuel.

In recognition of the considerable potential for non-petroleum based liquid fuels, the Congress last year enacted a 50-cent-per-gallon excise-tax credit for alternative fuel mixtures — including fuel derived from coal. However, the tax credit is set to expire in 2009. Given the time necessary to finance, permit and construct a new coal-to-liquids facility, it is extremely unlikely that any coal-to-liquids production can occur by 2009.

While coal-liquefaction technologies have been used successfully for some time in some parts of the world, the technology has not been widely adopted in the United States. Placing in operation an 80,000-barrel-per-day coal-to-liquid facility would cost approximately $7 billion and take between five and seven years to construct. Therefore, the coal-to-liquids facilities would be unable to utilize the alternative-fuel tax credit, which is only payable when production begins, before it is set to expire.

To remedy this problem, I have joined with my colleague from Illinois, John Shimkus, in the introduction of legislation that would extend the tax credit through 2020.

In addition to extension of the alternative-fuel-mixture tax credit, Congress should examine additional methods by which we can incent coal liquefaction as well as specific partnerships that might facilitate the launch of coal-to-liquids production.

The novelty of coal-liquefaction technologies to the United States means that obtaining the investment capital for facilities is still somewhat uncertain. I am interested in exploring a means through which the federal government might be able to provide some additional financial encouragement to incent the construction of the plants.

One way to accomplish such a goal would be to establish loan guarantees or investment tax credits. While these methods would certainly be welcome, I am also interested in the possibility of establishing a different mechanism for government support.

For example, the federal government could establish a price-support-type mechanism through which the government would guarantee to make payments to coal-to-liquids producers in cases in which the price of their product dropped below a certain level.

Since coal liquefaction is economic when crude oil is approximately $40 per barrel, the price floor could be set in a range comparable to that price. Given the probability that oil prices would not descend below that price, it is highly unlikely that the federal government would incur any costs under such a system.

In addition, a price ceiling could be established, and if prices rise in the future
above a specified level the coal-to-liquids operators would pay the federal government a certain amount, preventing a windfall to companies that launched with federal financial assistance.

Establishing a federal guarantee correlated to price would enable companies to make the necessary investments to construct and operate a number of coal-liquefaction facilities.

Our nation can gain energy independence through use of domestic resources. Since coal is our nation’s most abundant energy resource, we should harness federal energy policy behind a major effort to build coal-to-liquids facilities.
