It is inneficient and not practical on a big scale. I said that earlier. I provided an example of how bad the economic payoff has been in one of these plants.
I also said that the plants we were talking about did not make liquid, but made either a syngas type of natural gas or hydrogen. Maybe the liquid producing plants could be more economically viable, I don't know one way or the other but I'm very skeptical.

A s a comparison, we have a hydrogen generating plant in our refinery that uses more conventional technology to produce near pure 2000 psi hydrogen and it run and runs and runs, while the gasifier unit sits rusting away. We do that because the conventional hydrogen generating unit is more economical, practical, and reliable. The gasifier is a POS.

You call Harry a member of the flat earth society, but ponder this:
he and I have actual real experience with these units and some of this technology and are at least partially informed on the subject, while you know what you read about them in an article. Yet you ridicle those who have a different opinion.
