Looks like old T-Boone has gotten to a bunch of Republicans. Ron Paul co-sponsored this pork filled bill.

[org.whodat]

The republicans are just as corrupt as the democraps when it come to cronyism. They will sell their own daughters for a damn vote or five dollars.

You know what, there ARE millionaires we can learn to hate, and TBP is one of them (along with Gates and the Rockefellers).

Pay attention. NG has suddenly become plentiful in the US. No refineries needed. No pollution. No ethonol. No Arabs involved. We need to make it happen. Better spent on this than windmills and solar garbage.

What happened to T-Bones big windmill investments? Didn't work out too well?

there is nothing fiscally responsible about this

If T-boone wants it...it should ONLY come out of his wallet.

This story is from GlobalWarming.org?

Please.

If it’s a great idea the market will reward it. Taxpayers don’t need to be punished by this no matter how good an idea.

What happened to the wind fields TBoone?

This is a national security issue. We can be energy independent, or almost so, by using natural gas to power our vehicles. I would much rather have the money for our fuel spent here at home, creating jobs here and putting royalty payments in the hands of American landowners, rather than sending billions of petrodollars to middle eastern ragheads who recycle part of it to the terrorist network.

Ron Paul is awesome!

[Drango]

wRONg PAUL is a shrimp.

[trebb]

Most surprising and perhaps most disappointing is Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who claims that he votes against everything that isn’t in the Constitution

Looks like Ron Paul is against war with other countries, but it's OK if it attacks our own...

[ncalburt]

That phoney antisemite Ron Paul loves his earmarks.
He loaded up a cargo plane full of earmarks during the
so called Stimulus and Bank bailouts too.
He got real mad when some where pulled too.

15%?

No wonder they are looking for a subsidy!
15% is not enough savings to cover the higher expense of the conversion, loss of capacity and range due to heavy/bulky fuel tanks being required, lost power (less dense fuel, less HP per gallon) lack of supporting infrastructure (need THOUSANDS of fueling stations), etc.

It’s a great fuel for fixed route operations, perhaps the USPS, UPS, Fed-X, etc. can adopt it.
Great for running electrical generation, fixed location so the fuel can be tanked to the generator by truck or rail.

I have some experience with the advantages and pitfalls of such a system, it is very similar to the Propane my 4x4 GMC runs on.
Except, that is is even LESS efficient as a fuel in a vehicle that has to operate in regular traffic.

Oh, it’s a GAS. not a liquid, if you run out for any reason you have to call a tow truck!

To get beyond fixed routes and generators the difference would have to be more like 50% - 70%.

Propane systems have been available for decades, very few are in use by the public, so that’s a clue to how well this will be received without it being FORCED on us.

I’m looking forward to taking the Propane system OFF my truck and putting it BACK on gasoline, despite Propane currently being cheaper.
The lost power and range are intolerable.

When asked about this, Ron Paul said that he has always supported tax credits, because he opposes the income tax:

Having your picture taken with ManBearPig disqualifies you from everything.

Natural gas fueling stations? Sounds awesome.

Energy independence.
