Precedent: Montana's Syn Fuel Initiative


















Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer is proposing that the United States lessen its dependence on foreign oil by powering its cars with a coal-based synthetic fuel, or SynFuel.

SynFuel runs far cleaner than normal gas and diesel, and also leads to improved engine performance.
