The answers to our energy problems may be
in the pages of history, on
early 1945, 80 percent of Hitler's
war machine was running on synthetic
fuel. That's right, synthetic.
In recent years, chemist curlier Gulik
has been studying the synthetic fuel
process developed in Nazi Germany,
but a project that once employed a dozen
people has come to a grinding halt.
It's called the German Documents
Retrieval Program, microfilm
of a half million documents, but
no one wants to fund their garlic's
research anymore.
Texas A&M has the only accessible
copy of the Nazi research on synthetic
fuels.
There is no profit to be made
under the present condition
in synthetic fuels.
The Department of Energy turned down a
request for funds for this project.
The government says the documents were
examined after the war and found to have
little value. Or Garlick doesn't agree.
One has to
learn to make it better.
And as they run these plans, they make
improvements and make it cheaper.
Or, Garlock says, for one million dollars
or less, he can catalog and evaluate
the usable portions of the German
research. And while he agrees, we don't
need it right now, now we have
the time to plan
ahead. But it's not being done
