Diesel fuel from coal

[Elite1]

Has anyone heard of this process? I have been thinking of investing in this company which makes Diesel and other fuels from coal. The process has been around since the 1930's & now is economically feasible...
The company is Rentech Inc. and is RTK on the American stock exchange.
Rentech, Inc. (Rentech) has developed a technology that converts synthesis gas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide derived from coal, and other solid and liquid carbon-bearing materials, as well as from industrial gas and natural gas, into clean-burning, liquid hydrocarbon products. The Company's technology, referred to as the Rentech Process, is an advanced derivative of the Fischer-Tropsch process capable of using as feedstock a variety of naturally occurring hydrocarbons, as well as gaseous, liquid and solid hydrocarbons. Principal products from the Rentech Process include an ultra-clean and biodegradable straight run diesel fuel, naphtha (a light-fuel and intermediate product used to make gasoline and certain petrochemicals) fuel for fuel cells, and waxes that can be further processed into diesel fuel and other specialty products, such as synthetic lubricants, base oils and drilling fluids.
btw: Nazi Germany used a similar process ( Fischer-Tropsch ) to supply fuel to trucks, tanks etc. during WWII...
