This is not a pipe dream. What's exciting about this process is you don't have to drill any wells and you don't have to build any infrastructure, and you'd be putting these plants in the heartland of America, where you really need the jobs.

Continued operation of our facilities has allowed us to improve our technology and increase throughput efficiencies. This increased capacity is very important in any plant, but particularly for a ship-based design where deck space is limited.
