There’s always a rub. That’s why we need to produce electricity on a massive scale and the most efficient way to do that is with nuclear reactors. We need to over produce and knock the cost down to a reasonable level. Get it down low enough and there’s not a reason in the world for a home to be running on natural gas. CNG is a great source of energy for vehicles. It’s clean and has a higher octane rating, making it more efficient. The biggest problem with CNG is the tanks required to store it in, while in use. But with some of the new stainless steel carbon fiber tanks, they’ve got the weight way down.

A very good point. Because another interesting fact is that, presently, we get about half of our electricity from coal. All the libs and environmentalists SO against fossil fuels who advocate electricity obviously don’t know that.

And, nuclear produces ZERO carbon emissions. McCain is kind of ignored in his oft-stated commitment to 45 new nuclear plants by the year 2030.
