Sasol is a South African alternative-energy company. They convert coal to clean diesel fuel (CTL), and natural gas to clean diesel fuel (GTL). Both use their proprietary "Fischer-Tropsch" process. Clean diesel means a negligible amount of sulphur ...

I think alternative energy is an excellent industry to invest in right now. However, it should be noted that the real money maker is clean tech. There is a strong difference here between the two. This company is a prime example. It may be able to off...

Nazi technology perfected by an apartheid regime...great pedigree, huh? But as a footnote to some of history's horrors, Sasol has perfected coal liquefaction and natural gas-to-fuel conversion. We have abundant natural gas and coal (particularly coal...

This is a South African based company that has patented and commercialized large scale Coal to Liquid technology, which was how South Africa survived without oil during the embargo against apartheid.

Because it is a South AFrican company, I think it stands a chance of getting into Iran and other oil-producing countries in the Middle East.

COAL? who would have thought? Does not take much of an expert to see that this could be a viable option and one that I can wait on, especially with a descent yield. I can get paid to wait. I like it and I am in.

Being HQ'd in South Africa, this is a risky venture for me, but I'm not investing real dollars into this stock (yet)... Interesting that Sasol went so sideways throughout 2006 when the rest of the oil-n-gas industry was kicking butt. Still that has a...
