Their plan to make chemicals from coal gasification technology is not viable as long as natural gas prices are low. Cost of new technology exceeds current market value of company.

4/2/09 Pitch: Downthumb. Earnings 4/23/09. Well off of lows based on cost cutting measures. Unlikely to be enough. Being severely affected in top line by recession. Large negative free cash flow.

Chemicals and plastics both depend on oil and other feed stocks. When those prices increase, the price of the products must follow, often impacting sales, especially in weak economic times. I'm thinking the price per share will continue to decrease as the price of oil increases or least until this year's heating oil season is over. I'll watch this one until next quarter.
