Stuart also sees his car as a partial answer to the smog problem, since it burns no fuel, hence has no exhaust. "Some day," observes Stuart, "unless we turn off the fumes, we may be legislated into using nonexhaust transportation. It's better to make a start...
...combine called Conch International Methane Ltd. The solution Conch found was a double-hulled ocean tanker equipped with aluminum storage tanks insulated with balsa wood and encased in steel. Even with this kind of insulation, some methane did vaporize-just about enough, the engineers thriftily noted, to fuel the ship's boilers...
...methane tankers worth $10 million each, is busily dickering for more frozen-gas customers in Switzerland, Germany and Italy. And even though the U.S. is liberally crossed with gas pipelines, several East Coast and Southern California utilities are studying the economics of using liquid methane to extend their fuel supplies when demand finally overtaxes the pipelines. Convinced that the British deal is only a beginning. Conch boasts: "We can deliver liquefied gas from Africa or Arabia to Japan for no more than it costs to deliver Texas gas by pipeline to New York...
...another breakthrough in fuel technology, the hard pressed U.S. coal industry moved a step closer to economica11y attractive pipeline transportation of its product. Since 1957 Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co. has fueled one of its generating plants with coal slurry (a mixture of crushed coal and water) brought in through a 108-mile pipeline from Consolidation Coal Co.'s Cadiz, Ohio, mine...
...water before the slurry could be burned has discouraged other companies from following Cleveland Electric's example. Last week New York's Babcock & Wilcox Co. demonstrated a furnace that can burn slurry with 30% water content, making pipeline-pumped coal almost as easy to handle as fuel oil. Plans for a coal pipeline from the Pennsylvania and West Virginia fields to big East Coast power companies are already under consideration. But to coal producers and consumers alike, pumped coal's greatest immediate usefulness is apt to be in beating down railroad coal-hauling rates. Since Cleveland Electric...
