No, I’d have remembered that name since I know it.But seriously, $8,000 for a carburetor and a tank????
The guy’s point was, partially, that the government was making it unnecessarily expensive to convert. I know that CNG has a major downside if you want to take a trip or a long commute. But since NG is plentiful and cheap, you do want to see CNG used by city busses (which is true where I am) and you want LNG used for long-haul freight - by ships, railroads, and even trucks.
I still say that we are now perfectly situated to put a tariff on OPEC oil, and that we ought to bite the bullet right now, when it would be least painful to us to do it.
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Adam Smith, Wealth of NationsOPEC is a conspiracy against the American public, and we should seriously consider going out of our way to avoid depending on its members. We have the capability, no thanks to Obama, to stop importing fuel from people who are hostile to us.
It is not a carburetor any more...
NO! No government selection of winners and losers.
Our US jobs in refineries and petrochemical plants are not less important that oil production. Don't make us less competitive with the rest of the world, or distort the market such that it is cheaper for Mexico to import from OPEC while selling us all their oil.
Don't look to the federal government to "help" private industry. Every attempt to do so should cause push back by conservatives.
