While converting coal into gasoline is not particularly exciting in
these days of global warming, at least this helps to refute the claim
that a conspiracy is keeping this from us. Instead, the problem is
simple enough; the plants are expensive to build, and it is easy for
the price of the fuel they produce to be undercut by traditional oil
suppliers.
Building such a plant at the height of the oil crisis would have been
a public service - so the government should have done it instead of
expecting private enterprise to pay for it.
