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.

Still doesn’t justify tax funded subsidies and billions in earmarks.

The elephant in the room is distribution, for whatever fuel is used.

I think Denmark has a hydrogen system ramping up or some such.’H2’ http://www.hydrogencarsnow.com/blog2/index.php/hydrogen-fuel-distribution/denmark-opens-h2-fueling-station-links-germany-and-scandinavia/

A city in Italy (Venice?) is doing something for the whole city with hydrogen.http://oddtag.com/2010/07/12/the-worlds-first-hydrogen-run-power-plant-fusina-venice-italy/

Frankly, I’d have bought one of the Honda LNG cars that were tested. The technology itself is exciting. So are hybrids and fuel cells. Or making gasoline from grass, like what AFRL can do.

Make it happen my ass, we have been paying farmers to grown corn, which conservative oppose and now you want us to pay billionaire pickets more billions in tax credits for natural gas, are you out of your mind. The answer is hell no, let it stand on its own dam feet.

If all that is true it'll happen, and it'll happen a darn lot faster and more efficiently, and without further enriching multimillionaires, if the government just gets out of the way. I feel someone "Pickens" my pocket.

I agree, cars can be converted to have a natural gas tank and be made to run on both gas and natural gas and for only a few thousand. we need to do this to keep our money out of the arab states

100% on the money!

NG is easy to find and relatively easy to produce, its already piped dang near everywhere.

I’ll sure change to NG.

“None of the above” would be the correct answer.

I am, underlying your statement is an assumption that it's an uneconomic resource sans government subsidies, which is absurd.
