Can the natural gas bear any of the burden that oil has been bearing? That seems an obvious question.

I think there is activity in the House to do something to get the Big Rigs setup to use compressed natural Gas.

Which would be good....government probably needs to help get infrastructure built.

Yes, but only to a degree. It is my understanding that there is proprietary technology out there that deals with converting NG to diesel oil. It’s also pretty expensive. No commercial-sized plant exists (that I’m aware of) in this country to do it, but the technology is supposedly out there.
