American reaction to the project is mixed. Physicist Glenn Werth, of the University of California's Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, praises it as both safe and economical.

...major hitch to coal-gasification schemes is cost; all the heating and processing must take place in expensive aboveground plants. But Physicist Glenn C. Werth and his colleagues at the AEC's Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in California have proposed a less expensive alternative. They believe that it may be possible to create methane in the earth by forcing oxygen and water into fractures created with the help of explosives in coal seams. The cost, they figure, would be between 400 and 600 per 1,000 cu. ft., less than the price of liquefied natural gas now delivered from overseas...
