| - | Hey, this is one heck of a way to make a living, | 0:02 |
| but this is coal! | 0:04 | |
| And here's a guy who is using it | 0:05 | |
| in an unusual way to help solve some of our energy problems. | 0:07 | |
| Neil Richter of Montebello, California. | 0:10 | |
| - | Hi, Bob. | 0:12 |
| - | What's going on here? | 0:13 |
| - | Bob, what we're doing here is taking coal | 0:14 |
| and turning it into a clean burning gas. | 0:17 | |
| - | Oh, tell me more. | 0:19 |
| - | All right. | 0:20 |
| It's called coal gasification | 0:22 | |
| and Texaco has developed a special process to do it. | 0:24 | |
| - | I'm impressed! | 0:27 |
| - | Bob, this pilot plant can handle 15 tons a day | 0:29 |
| and Texaco's working with other companies | 0:32 | |
| to create an even larger demonstration plant. | 0:34 | |
| It'll be able to turn a thousand tons of coal a day | 0:37 | |
| into clean burning gas. | 0:39 | |
| - | Wow! That's a good way to use coal! | 0:42 |
| - | Eventually, clean burning gas from coal | 0:44 |
| will produce power that could help | 0:46 | |
| light up cities like Los Angeles. | 0:48 | |
| And with the crude oil saved, | 0:51 | |
| we'll be able to make more heating oil and more gasoline. | 0:52 | |
| Bob | You can trust the Star | 0:55 |
| at home at work or in your car. | 0:57 |
