“I wouldn’t be too crazy riding along with several thousand tons of LNG either.”

LNG like all petroleum fuels requires oxygen (air) to combust. LNG is safe unless it escapes its containers, mixes with air, and is ignited by something.

The LI-ION batteries are self contained explosives or at least flammables.

The problem with LNG is keeping it cold. You get a power failure and it will vent, then all you need is a combustion source...otherwise I agree it’s as safe as any other carbon fuel. Agree on the batteries, they’re willing to blow all on their own!

They burn without oxygen. Well, beam me up!
