Discovery of renewable oil allowed Nazis to keep fighting

bump for interest

Surprised this thread isn't swarmed by enviro shills yet.

Amazing that a good info thread gets ignored, but asking if traps are gay will get 100+ replies from autists.

It's abiotic.
No dinosaurs needed.

>>136838839
It just goes to show how much our true potential as a race is being suppressed.

I'm sure there are warehouses full of civilization altering technology that is being suppressed because it interferes with (((their agenda))).

>>136838839
I'm curious about the process itself, but I'm imagining that the cost of production is more costly than drilling, no? For the Germans, winning the war at all costs had no price tag too big, but economically is it a feasible process?

>>136838839

That's a process to produce oil from coal you retard.
Coal is still a fossil fuel.

Saged.

It's because of the reddit-ization of the board: repeating buzzphrases like awooo or replying to memes like "r traps ghey" becomes like a game to these nupol idiots. They seem to get a little high from replying to memes with the right buzwords or catchphrases.

Depends entirely on the cost of the materials used for hydrogenation. For example, is bituminous coal very expensive? Are all other processes more expensive?

Report this newfag fuck for violating Global Rule 7, getting sick of this "sage" spam.

Is it like methanol fuel where it takes more energy to make it than you get out of it?

Nazis lost and their inefficient hippy oil alternative is probably one reason why. Nothing compares to crude.

I doubt it is economically feasable at the moment and since Trump is big into fracking it will stay like this for a while.

I love watching the mental backflips you idiots do, but it's sad watching you ruin the board.

Well they've suppressed plenty of other technologies that threaten corporate monopolies, why would synthetic oil be any different?

I think synthetic Oil might be cheaper too when you factor in all the expenses caused by drilling up "natural" oil reserves from the ground, then refining them and all the shipping that comes that occurs due to this process.

Is creating synthetic oil energy efficient? Like does the process burn more energy than it produces?

Fun fact.
The major push for the Germans to use jet engines was the fact that they couldn't produce high octane gasoline for fighters. Gas Turbines could burn much cheaper kerosene.

Why are redditors such retarded sheep?

Like how did the shills that wrangled R_TheDonald's mentally handicapped population together manage to find all their useful idiots?

It is used. I believe Sasol has these plants and technology. Not sure if they're still made all the time but I know a few were built in the 80s. Most people call it GTL or gas to liquids plants.

Why were the Nazis so fucking perfect lads

>>136838839
Everybody knows this. Its just too expensive for commercial use.

>>136846801
This, basically its a very expensive way to make shit we pump out of the ground now.

Well nobody is really perfect... but there were pretty good. I was just reading a review on the movie Dunkirk from the Unz Review. The comments are absolutely beautiful. Even better than the Wolfenstein comments I read yesterday (Before lefty/pol/ got to it anyway)

Oil stopped being generated as soon as the Fungi evolved.

What's expensive is entirely the product of market forces. I'm curious how precarious the monopoly of drilled oil is.

>>136846029
What do they specifically suppress to keep the market favorable to current extraction and refinement methods?

>>136846694
they didn't win man
sadly

>>136847487
A basic wiki says methane to syngas to gasoline process is only 60% efficient. That's not so good. You might as well say that means there's a 40% markup on that gasoline or so.
It takes natural gas / fuel gas to fire up the heaters that produce the synthesis gas from natural gas and then you have to run this shit through multiple fixed bed reactors and do your separation trains...
There's a shit ton of natural gas everywhere but this process just isn't economically viable until the conventional sources for crude become cost prohibitive.

So when people talk about "the price of oil being manipulated", are they specifically talking about it being manipulated so no other technology emerges, ie, because its kept cost prohibitive?

Yes an American company developed it and sold it to the National Socialists, dig deep and you'll find the German war machine was funded and aided by foreign corporates and state run groups.

This oil price manipulation thing I don't know what you mean.
"Futures" and algorithm traders can affect the price of oil but the main driver is still the oil producers. Oil manipulation occurs through OPEC cartel and how they set the price of oil from limiting their output intentionally...the issue being, they've wanted a high price of oil for a long while and GTL was still not viable enough at $100/bbl of oil. Overproducing has brought the price down to what we see today (which isn't good if you wanted GTL).

Put simply, GTL should be more competitive at higher oil barrel prices, yet it never became a big process even at $100/bbl. We are now floating at $40-$50. There isn't any manipulating by oil companies to keep GTL out, they would be the same companies to build these plants to make gasoline...refining a crude oil is simpler than reacting natural gas to gasoline in an energy intense process, so that's what is done.

>>136848280
It's easy, if you control the production you control the price, that's how they manipulate the prices.
