I guess you could say that Dynamite, Black Powder and Nitroglycerin are safe also. It is a relative statement. I don’t want to hunt down a place to get high pressure natural gas just to drive a car. It is a risk and hassle that I am not ready to take. Why not get gas prices back under $2.00 a gallon and leave the exotic fuels to the hobbyists. Rational fuel prices would expand the economy greatly and give freedom of travel back to the people.

Wishing will not make it so. Pretending that the cost to produce oil in the shale fields is no different than older conventional fields won't make it true.

Insurance companies that evaluate cost and risk have figured out that CNG is safer than gasoline.

Data collected over time has demonstrated natural gas vehicles to be safe in actual operation. Based on a survey of 8,331 natural gas utility, school, municipal and business fleet vehicles (NGVs) that traveled 178.3 million miles:

• The NGV fleet vehicle injury rate was 37% lower than the gasoline fleet vehicle rate.

• There were no fatalities compared with 1.28 deaths per 100 million miles for gasoline fleet vehicles

You left gasoline out of your dangerous materials list. when the engine in my Grand Marquis caught fire, the flames shot 30 feet in the air. Ever see a gasoline refinery explosion. Not pretty, and it does happen.

That's the same argument with diesel.

Decades ago there was not really a infrastructure for diesel except for trucks.
There was no infrastructure for diesel cars and finding diesel fuel for cars was far and few in between.
But look at it now ?
You go to many gas stations you see with the regular gas a pump hose for diesel.
