Neither right nor left has met the problem square on; it will take, he says, a realist unswayed by the dogma of free enterprise or the hypnosis of absolutist environmentalism.

A shale oil or coal liquefaction proposal that might have been economically viable a year ago, when oil seemed to be heading toward $50 per bbl., might not make sense now, when the price is dropping toward...

Thus many of the ambitious plans for turning coal into oil and gas may stay on the drawing boards for years. -By Edward E. Scharff. Reported by Robert T. Grieves/New York and Gary Lee/Washington
