No shit, Shakespeare, and neither is syngas remotely like the natural gas
released by fracking. A gas comprised primarily of methane is not the same
as a gas that is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.

The point is that 90% of US citizens are overweight, the roads are wide
and straight and the average parking space will take a challenger tank,
and gas is relatively cheap.

So the cars are twice as big and feature 3-8 litre engines instead of
1-3litre, and handle like elephants on tranquillisers.

There is no demand for a compact car designed for twisty congested
European roads that will do 60mpg, and park in a space barely 6ft wide.

If this was just uk.d-i-y I might agree that coal gas is used to
describe the gas coming from coal. However syngas is a term used more
worldwide to describe a gas from coal gasification:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syngas

and the process:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasification

I have no idea why so many seem to be in denial that syngas is an often
used term for gases made from coal.

But your H2S receptors saturate quickly, which makes H2S particularly dangerous - you stop noticing the stink and can hang around for long enough to inhale a fatal dose.
It\'s roughly as toxic as carbon monoxide.

Yes. I am surprised that the US has not used it for carrying out the
death penalty. Especially when there were difficulties obtaining the
drugs that they normally used.
