Back during WWII, the Allies took control of the world's oil supply. Adolf Hitler gave an edict saying we need to figure out a way to make oil out of coal and they did.
Recently the US defense department started a feasibility study into setting up something similar to the German synthetic fuel plants to ensure that the DoD, which currently burns about 4% of US motor fuel, will not be in the same situation Nazi Germany was in when its oil imports were cut off.
