Duh, did Santorum just say that we need for big 18 wheeler rigs to convert to natural gas. Hello!!!!! 1) Natural gas would not combust to a diesel engine without blowing it up. 2) Read number 1-my hubby says to post that Rick is an idiot.

I tell you if people in Ohio and elsewhere, after hearing Newt's closing remarks, do not support him, blame yourselves when your life becomes worse off.

Actually are creating buses and small truck using natural gas now. T Boone says a complete transfer of ALL trucks would take about four years.

Other countries are already using it.

Yep and I know for sure that we can never get a horsepower per cubic inch. Technology changes, and anything can be made to run on Natural gas, if not then then remember that almost all truck ran on gasoline at one time. The 348 Chevy was ported from the truck to the car in 58.

It may come as a surprise to you but there are Natural Gas metro buses and have been for a long time.

The issue with moving 18 wheelers to Natural Gas is range and power. For buses that have a fixed loop, it's not much of a concern. An 18 wheeler isn't going to get far, fast or efficiently. Long haul doesn't seem an option.

According to a 2011 article, UPS used millions in stimulus dollars to buy a few but won't buy more without subsidies.
