CNG vehicles have range issues and there is a huge cost for installing the infrastructure (fuelling stations). They perform well but plug in vehicles are better, use the natural gas to make electricity, just plug in vehicles at home, the infrastructure is already in place.

This is an example of what $5+ gas will do and is doing, it will get the smart people in this country diverting their energy into solving the problem and it will get solved. Wind farms and solar are the future and they will become more cost effective and efficient. We will get to the point that we can generate power entirely from free and unlimited sources that create little to no emissions, just wait and see. This is the new space race, my money is on the Americans.

Now if we can just get apple to make cars, got the new iphone Friday, holy crap that thing is amazing. If you would have told me 10 years ago that it would exist I would have laughed at you. In ten years, you wont recognize the freeways.

The most ironic thing is that the twin towers will be remembered in 50 years as the catalyst for the upcoming energy revoloution. We tried to kill our enemy and it’s hopeless, our next move is to eliminate their source of revenue and power and only because of 9/11 will the government and the people embrace this new direction. It will also be a method to save the economy, think of it as a modern version of the WPA.
