Angel Fuel/Oil.

From a book I am presently reading :Aircrew by Bruce Lewis, a Cassell Military Paperback.
In 1943/44, Germany was producing Synthetic Fuels and Oils, from its Wesseling production facility.
Q: Would anyone know why this is not done, or why Governments are not looking at this.
I do not know the costs of producing the likes, but one would think it would have to be a favourable alternative at $ 70 per barrel?.
