ENERGY INDEPENDENCE A Pathway to Prosperity
ENERGY INDEPENDENCE What You Should Know: • America has tremendous coal reserves that can be converted into transportation fuels like synthetic gasoline and synthetic diesel fuel, as well as many strategic chemicals. • Coal to liquid fuel technology is a very mature and robust technology, but it has never been economical or environmentally friendly because the heat needed came from burning fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas.

• Coal can also be converted into Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG), and in the long-‐term, producing SNG from coal will help stabilize our natural gas markets and calm fears about exporting natural gas overseas. • Converting coal to natural gas is a very mature process, and America already has a “Coal to SNG” plant in North Dakota that has continued to make a profit even with record low natural gas prices. • MSRs can produce electricity that is very competitive in a free market and can produce electricity with zero airborne pollutants. The eGeneration Foundation is working to form an alliance to develop a national energy plan, promoting the next generation of fuels powered by Molten Salt Reactor technology. As studies and analysis of this promising technology are widely understood, there will be widespread industry support for commercializing this next generation process, thus providing a clear pathway to prosperity.
