“He’s right about this though.”

He owns a lot of gas,,, and no, he isnt right. Gas makes sense for electricty generation, not vehicles. It’s LOTS of fun to have a vehicle that goes less than 100 miles per fill up. The tank takes up the entire trunk. And fueling is like filling the space shuttle. (ok,,fueling isn’t QUITE that bad,, but driving around with a thermos bottle of compressed natural gas is not that cool)

Gas could light and heat our homes forever. Abundant oil is for cars. And why not buy it from whoever sells? But the better answer is to drill and develop our own. That he isnt fighting for THAT, makes him a huckster.

Pickens is turning into a joke.

At 3000psi you certainly won’t need a fuel pump to get it from the tank to the engine. LNG is better in large-scale installations. All those small high-pressure tanks seem inefficient and a bit dangerous.

I’ll bet most government vehicles barely travel 100 miles a week. A bunch of short trips to the office across town and to lunch. I’ve seen buses powered by LNG - they are running routes that are 70+ miles/day. Most law enforcement, Post Office, state and local gov’t vehicles ought to be LNG.

I never really thought aboout it before but way back when I was in highschool in the 80s our school busses were converted to run on propane. From that day on, they lined up to fill up twice a day or more every day. In fact there was a day when we all got on the bus and halfway through the route, had to return to the school where they made us all go wait in the cafeteria while they filled up again.
