Natural gas isn't best for everything. It isn't good for cars & trucks. It's great for space & water heating. It's great for cooking. It is great for electricity production.

It's just not great for vehicles. If all the items listed above (and many more) are switched over to NG, there would be barrels of oil available for gasoline and diesel, driving prices down.

LNG vehicles have far less engine power.
They require their own fueling stations.
They require large storage vessels (remember you still have a gasoline tank also)
They have limited range, more energy per unit with gasoline.

WE DON'T NEED THEM. Switch OTHER oil users to NG and there would be a glut (remember we have huge oil reserves as well, pun intended) of oil for vehicles.

Use our energy reserves WISELY. In a place where wind blows 24/7, put up windmills, but we don't want one on the top of The Statue of Liberty (or many other places).

ENERGY INDEPENDENCE is critical.

I remember waiting in gas lines. I remember having to stay home because it was the wrong odd/even day.

Do the Muslim Islamists love us more NOW? Are they in control of or have influence over fewer countries NOW?
I'd rather pay $4 a gallon for AMERICAN oil. While we do not get a majority of our energy from the Middle East, WHY DO WE GET ANY? WHY ARE WE SENDING THEM BILLIONS OF OUR DOLLARS?

Romney is right. We can be energy independent in a few years, LET'S GET STARTED!

Not a lot of large users of petroleum refined products that easily switch to Natural Gas outside of the transportation industry.
