Not if the whackos, underwritten by the Arabs, have anything to say about it.

Actually, no. But it will help, if and only if we are allowed to drill for it. The Obamites are trying to shut down huge tracts again (like Clinton did) and make National Monuments out of them. Our tax dollars at work.

Natural gas is not practical as an automotive fuel. Why not drill for Oil?

Why not do both?

There is no sense in breaking down natural gas to make Hydrogen, when that is done (and it is recombined with oxygen) as part of the process of burning the gas. An added step only makes the gas more difficult to transport and the process less efficient.

Besides, now that we know CO2 isn't the boogeyman we were told it is, let's feed the plants.

Don't forget the oil under lake Michigan that we can't get because the envirowacks outlawed directional drilling from land.

“Natural gas is not practical as an automotive fuel.”

CNG is useful for mass transit.
“ Why not drill for Oil? Why not build oil refineries?”
Wny not do both?

“Natural gas as a source of hydrogen releases large amounts of CO2 that will kill everyone on earth several times over. “

WRONG. C02 is harmless and needed for all life on earth, we all exhale C02. The only predicted harm from C02 is so-called man-made climate change andthat is an overhyped phony threat.

Also, natural gas can feed many processes that need oil now, allowing more oil to go for transportation purposes where it works best.

In a word — YES. Gas can power our cars more effeciently and with less pollution than gasoline. Same can be said for home and industrial energy, especially in combination with nuclear and clean coal technology.

Now, the question is, would the Liberofascists and Obamunists ever really let this happen? We know the answer to that, don’t we?

The was a sarcastic swipe at the commie enviro wackos. Propane has been used for year as a motor fuel but CNG needs very high pressure tanks and equipment that is very expensive and impractical for most and has no commercial advantage. New nuclear technology is amazing and should also be Incorporated.
