Natural gas fueled vehicles can run on Syngas, a combination of carbon monoxide and hydrogen which is produced from carbon and water or on pure hydrogen. Converting to CNG now will allow those fuels to be used in the future. At that point we will never run out of fuel.

It is truely insane to me that we though we had PLENTY of oil, 100s of year worth, pfffft.
Now we are going down the same road again with NG, WTF people didnt you learn the 1st time.
NG will not last 100s of years. Then what?

We must become more efficient, and clean up our messes. Thanks

I think that they will because they HAVE to. They have put it off for as long as they can and public apathy has allowed them to do this as well as the lack of a viable pathway to get from here to there. The Pickens Plan has laid the foundation and to date they have one and a half million supporters/voters to add pressure. I think now is the time when these factors will combine into real action from our legislators.

I think that Picken’s plan provides that direction. It gives a solid base to start on using technologies which are already developed and available. Most of the “plans” you see make all sorts of wonderful projections for a green future but most are dependent on the development of new technologies which, in reality, may not happen in the near future and do nothing about where to begin today.

In addition Picken’s plan is one that asks for a commitment more then an investment. Commit to a green energy future, start today using the best things available and the market, not the taxpayer, will build the solutions.

Overall The Pickens Plan is the best, real world place to start building our green future. It would create a marketplace for green jobs to spring up like weeds in your garden. It doesn’t exclude any technology that can compete.

Electric cars are great and can be charged with wind energy but the big polluters like diesel trucks, trains and existing cars can’t so that is where natural gas comes in.

Natural gas can fuel all of these vehicles and vehicles which are converted to natural gas are 80% cleaner and can run on hydrogen or locally produced syngas as well as methane from landfills or sewage plants.

Imagine farmers running their equipment on methane which is produced by the animals on the farm! Imagine the fuel that runs your car being produced in your own neighborhood not half way around the world. All these things are possible with the commitment to do it.
