Dominant player in coal to liquid technologies. This is one of a number of key technologies that will help the US reduce its dependence on oil from unstable and potentially hostile parts of the world.

Rapid growth and a reasonable price means that now is a good time to get on board.

Nice job. You could replace 'Dominant' with ONLY and 'WILL help the US' with COULD or MIGHT since we are far from on board with this proprietary South African solution. As we flip the skip w/ ethanol, ect. the only argument against the process, w/oil >$100/unrefined barrell, is environmental which, relative to ZERO emissions, presents an area of opportunity for some bright chemical engineers. Relative to current REALITY, it is a very weak argument vs what we do now as it is, since there is a world of difference between the emissions from burning raw or even pre-treated coal AND diesel fuel derived from coal.
