I am opposed to converting coal to liquid fuel per H.R. 683 because doing this would encourage continued use or even more use of coal. Coal is mostly carbon. It is better to make alternate fuel from things that grow because when burning these alternate fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide put into the air is similar to the carbon dioxide that was taken from the air when the vegetation was grown. The total amount of CO2 put into the air is much less than is put there by burning any form of coal or petroleum product. It is important to wind down the use of coal, and the likes, as a fuel in order to reduce green house gases.
