If you like Pickens or not, more natural gas vehicles and filling stations would be good for America. The fact of the matter is companies won't go forward with this until they get some tax incentives. Personally, I am for lower corporate taxes over all, but this is an OK first step.

The fact of the matter is companies, including Picken's Clean Energy Fuels, are already going forward under the current taxing rules.

There are also consumers of the fuel investing in their infrastructure already as well.

To say they won't go forward with this technology without additional tax payer funds is not correct. Many already have and the list continues to grow.
