And in an accident it will break into 500 pieces and go 500 feet in every direction.

We have been using compressed natural gas for decades in highway vehicles. The crash test data, and actual crashes, proves your made up claim false.

Carbon fiber tanks designed to withstand 4,000 psi or more are quite strong and don't shatter.

The other advantage to CNG that no one every mentions is the storage of it. Typically around here when a gas station needs to replace their gasoline storage tanks the company goes out of business. Replacement of the tanks is very expensive. IF a gasoline storage tank ever leaks, it becomes an EPA superfund site. The owners of the station almost always end up declaring bankruptcy. If a CNG tank ever leaks it then just vents into the atmosphere.

Some vehicles with those carbon fiber tanks are fueled with hydrogen.

People need to go and watch some of those tests of those tanks on youtube, their opinion of those tanks will be changed.
