Amen, subsidies should have already been phased out.

When the money runs out, they better shut it down, or those voting for this PR-motivated policy should lose their seats.

I do notice that Texas has some problems of its own.

But then, the state will turn around and charge such beneficiaries a surcharge to cover the necessarily lessened gas tax collections, like everywhere else.

If they would use Texas CNG and home garage systems this would be a great idea. There is a company in Oklahoma that makes an overnight CNG that can refill a tank over night using your house natural gas. That way the first 100 miles would be at a much less per gallon cost. http://www.hypresequip.com/compressed-natural-gas-home-fill-station

There one and only one problem with CNG. The Pumps to fill tanks( within 10 minutes) are enormously expensive. Compressing gas to 3000psi is no easy feat.
To: ImJustAnotherOkie
There will be a definite advantage to the commercial stations that are located where they can get a tap off the transmission line at ~1,000 psi versus the in-town station with the low pressure distribution line.
Home compression overnight can take 8 hours so the slow flow helps keep those units more affordable. I think it was GE that claimed they were going to produce one for $500; haven’t seen it out yet.

I saw lots of these for sale back in 1975 Tulsa. Never saw one being driven. The fad didn't last long.

There are charging stations downtown and at several malls in San Antonio. I have never seen one used. Not once. Thanks, Mayor Castro...

CNG does not require the vehicle to be a pile of crap.

Funny how you never see the natural gas or electricity providers using CNG or electric vehicles in their own fleets.
