A team of Texas am University professors Are studying some 400,000 documents Cap tured from nazi Germany at the end of world War ii hoping to find an answer to the Energy problems facing the United Stales. One of the things you immediately think about when you have a problem is i anyone else Ever had that problem said or. Richard Wainerdi a professor of chemistry and director of the University s Center for Energy and Mineral , in world War ii Germany had to figure out a Way to overcome the Block Ade that deprived them of natural Oil sup plies. We know they were interested in organic chemistry and developed methods of using such things As sawdust bark of Trees soft Coal to produce fuel he said in an also managed to fight a War largely by using these fuels developed from soft Coal and other organic sub received permission from the Federal government to probe into the seemingly endless stacks of documents Cap tured at the end of the War.
