Actions for Issues relative to the development and commercialization of a coal-derived synthetic liquids industry. Final report, January 1975--December 1976
It is not planned that any of the coal liquefaction plants, except pilot or demonstration plants, will be completed before 1990, the time when the U.S. output of conventional fuels is expected to peak. The phasing in of alternative energy sources on a large scale is expected after the year 2000. Environmental, technological, social, and economic aspects of the situation are discussed.
