$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')merica has a lot of natural gas, much of it newly accessible thanks to improved drilling technology. The fuel is inexpensive. The technology to run cars on natural gas exists, and burning natural gas instead of gasoline may reduce vehicle carbon emissions. Building enough fueling stations to service passenger cars, though, would be very expensive. So Mr. Reid, with a sustained push from natural gas booster T. Boone Pickens, wants to subsidize the replacement of America's buses and large trucks with ones that run on natural gas. Building infrastructure for vehicle fleets that travel along particular routes and refuel at predictable intervals is much cheaper - in fact, such a network already exists along major interstates in California and other western states.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')ith nearly 12 million vehicles around the world running on compressed natural gas these days, but only 120,000 of them in the U.S., opportunity looms in a country that is weary of expensive crude oil from increasingly unfriendly nations and home to a vast supply of natural gas.

“Without question, natural gas will allow our country to transition our transportation system away from expensive and carbon-heavy gasoline and diesel towards carbon-light, affordable American produced natural gas,” says Aubrey K. McClendon, CEO of Chesapeake Energy.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'Y')ou don't see the problem here? That the poorest countries need natural gas because they are poor, and can't afford gasoline and diesel? That natural gas is a lousy substitute for gasoline and diesel. Have you considered this?

So a home without a garage can't charge an EV? Good thing no one told me that when I plugged my car into an outlet on the side of my house. Took me about an hour to install a circuit breaker, drill a hole, run the wire, and mount the outlet. I guess no other homeowner or business could do the same either. Jeez.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', ' ')You should know by now that both Honda (and the company that bought the home-compressor system from Honda) both got out of the business? You loose.
