Picken’s is right about natural gas. We should be encouraging increasing use of it for vehicles. It has some downsides, but those don’t include cost of availability in NA. We should also build the AK gas pipeline and drill up there.
All our over the road heavy vehicles have room for CNG or LNG tanks. Most farm equipment does. Most pickups could sacrifice a bit of space for CNG/LNG. Our federal regs make conversion very expensive, but really it is cheap on a gas engine. Heavy duty diesel trucks would need to be factory built. This isn’t a green issue..it is an economic fact issue. We shouldn’t be wasting natural gas in electricity generation which should be 100% nuclear or coal.
We could replace the 20% of EPG that is natural gas generate with nuclear..and move the gas to vehicles.
Right...Using natural gas for power generation is idiotic. Should be outlawed. The stupid greenies like that because gas is “cleaner”. Instead use more coal for power generation
Natural gas is a fuel that has a great future in transportation and should be promoted in all ways possible including tax incentives.
We are a coal and gas super power. We need to use them more including burning coal to run electric automobiles
