Propane tanks are about 250psi and CNG is over 3000-5000psi. CNG is fine but I'm nervous about that much pressure of anything in my trunk. It gets less mpg, but is plentiful and cheap.

There is NO infrastructure! It would take years to get fueling stations built. The best alternative is a home compressor. They are over $10k and do you want 5000psi CNG next to your house?

Everybody is missing the point with T.Boone. The windmills are a ruse to get water rights in the wind corridor and the Nat Gas stuff is because he owns a boat load of CHK stock. ( And COP, which is also big in nat gas). He's 80 and a billionaire, but it's still about money,....his money.

I'm not against nat gas, but it should be for city vehicles and company vehicles, like the phone co. or UPS, or the post office. They could install their own re-fuelers and leave the gasoline for us.

I think he's trying to get as much money as he can now, in order to keep building his legacy at Oklahoma State University. He personally doesn't need the money.

All great points.

Propane is a better alternative.
