Seriously? No. We already tried natural gas as a widespread fuel back in the 70s and again in the 2000s (though the second time it was used as a fleet-only fuel). It doesn’t work out at all the way this writer thinks, and there were many homeowners who could tell you about how bad an idea it was when their neighbor’s natural gas compressor for his car went on fire/exploded/leaked and blew up half the block back in the 70s.
I personally think natural gas is a better electricity producer.
They use natural gas in Canada for their cars. Seems ok.
Natural gas is one of the best fuels for heating.
We used propane exclusively on our farm for 40+ years. It was cheap, it is not now. There was a time we used it in our farm trucks. Both worked fine. The cost differential of propane compared to diesel caused us to quit. Natural gas is similar to propane, but propane has a higher BTU content and can be liquified at much lower pressures than natural gas.
Engines running on propane develop no sludge. They are so clean burning that they last almost forever. We still have a couple of propane tractors that are now long in the tooth.
I am not sure LNG is practical for auto use because of the pressures involved.
Using CNG is not a bad idea for many forms of transportation.
Of course as long as Obozo is in power, nothing but high gas prices are on the horizon. He is the enabler of the Saudi part of the cartel. And supports all our Commie enemies.
Obozo MUST GO!

the technology has changed since then. a lot.
My husband had a pick up truck switched over to propane back then. The truck ran away with him and he had a tough time getting it stopped. I think that was the end of his propane experiment.
Gas to Liquids conversion solves much of these problems ... however, the process itself is energy intensive. I believe that it could be combined with nukes to provide the heat required and then produce a wide range of petroleum products.
