At best (Yiddish balls to the wall), we have 100 years of quality coal
and another 100 years of medium to poor quality coal to convert. Then
what fossil dregs are we talking about? (lowest grade coal conversions
at 10 tonnes per tonne of liquid fuel?)

Converting oily sands, oily muck and oily rock into usable road
asphalt, aviation, marine shipping, commercial trucks, bus and private
transportation usage of various liquid fuels is technically doable, as
long as continued CO2 pollution (including NOx, multiple other toxins
and radiation) at $10+/gallon plus $1/kwhr isn't a problem. Actually,
by the end of 100 years from now, we'll be thanking our lucky stars if
fuel is only at $10/gallon, because more than likely it'll be headed
towards the $100/gallon mark, and otherwise our electrical energy
looking good at $10/kwhr, mostly because wind, tidal, solar and
geothermal as well as thorium derived energy doesn't make weapons
grade fuel for your WWIII, WWIV and WWV.

People with ALL heavier-than-air technology, including cars have
greatly overestimated
their abiliity with future technology.
Which is mostly why the brighter people turned their wasted garages
in computer and laser factories.
And turned their houses into PV Cell Solariums.
And turned their idiot malls into Hologram outlets,
And turned their bridge companies into titaniium companies.
And tunred their idiot electric companies into microwave companies.
And turned their idiot schools into philosophy satellites.
And turned their idiot army into cell phone repairmen.
And turned their idiot coal companies into robot dodgers.

You will not be surprised, because lord Mook has had more than a
decade to R&D and even accomplish much of whatever he spouts off
about. Unfortunately, he is a certified rusemaster of the Zionist/
Nazi kind, the exact same as what gave Hitler so much extra physics
and science to work with, subsequently giving all the rest of us a
serious and spendy pain in the butt, if not having taken more than
many of us and even those of his own kind had to give.

The future by William was remarkable! And the standard response
just as sound. Which is typically along the lines, in some manner or
another...."How ya' gonna get enough energy to do...that"?

Please never forget what fuels such dreams of future possibilities.

The same thing that inspired all those Trekkian dreams of
properity and justice......an unlimited and cheap supply of
clean energy.....those magical di-lithium crystals.
And voila almost anything is possible.

Without it, dreams go up in smoke.

Instead of detailing an ideal future, as William did so well, by
starting from the present and steadily expanding into the future.
I would do the opposite, because predicting the future of a
real world system is the hardest thing to do of all.

Both the Gyrodyne and follow-on Rotodyne suffered from high tip jet
noise problems; in fact, it was the noise that the Rotodyne's supersonic
exhaust tip jets generated that led to its cancellation - it was
intended to takeoff and land from pads in the interior of cities, but
the noise level was so high that the airlines that looked at it found it
unacceptable because of this...and it's still a problem with rotor-tip
