Senator McConnell defends Kentucky Coal and coal-to-liquid technology when he led the fight aginst the climate bill last week as stated in this 6 June 2008 article. The state and local government seem to be maintaining their support for coal-to-liquid technology.
"Greater use of coal-to-liquid fuel technology would take full advantage of this natural resource, which Kentucky has in abundance, while also benefiting our environment by reducing emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide and other pollutants as compared to using conventional fuels," McConnell wrote in an April 30 column. "We have enough coal in America to supply our nation for more than 250 years. What Saudi Arabia is to oil, America is to coal."
