I have enjoyed several interviews of Boone Pickens by Cavuto.

Pickens strongly pushes LNG for fueling , especially of our big rig fleet. He says that if the big rigs were converted, the pressure on supply would evaporate and prices would come down.

He is a plain and outspoken man who seems to tell it like it is. One winders if he is not involved in the transition noted. It would be application of using the thoughts at home before pressing others to make the change.

Keep in mind Pickens already controls the largest Nat Gas vehicle fueling company in the US.

I am not saying he is wrong in this, but his company will grow fantastically if the US subsidizes or otherwise mandates this system.

I see what Pickens is doing as more than mere advertising to the free market.

T Boone is a huge player in the natural gas market, so he has a vested interest in pushing it. Still makes a lot of sense, but to me it makes more sense to use it for generating electricity.

It would take a long time and a lot of money to build an LNG/CNG infrastructure to support fueling over the road vehicles. Makes sense for service vehicle fleets, but not over the road.
