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.

July 12, 2008 at 11:26 PM #238324SD RealtorParticipantI think that we all agree that the country needs to wean itself from imported oil. There are many ways to do that.
It is quite unrealistic to believe that the rich will not get richer as infrastructure is built up for a new energy platform. I actually don’t really care about that anymore. Pickens made a zillion on oil and now he sees opportunity to make more zillions because of the new paradigm for oil… that it will not only never return to levels we saw as little as a year ago but it will only get more expensive.
I believe it is imperative to wean the country off of imported oil or at least reduce it to 10-20% level. If that means incentivizing companies to build that infrastructure or even direct government funding I am for it.
We are about to watch the FED basically prop up Fan and Fred with a wide open discount window. We have already watched a 300 billion dollar package sail through our legislature.
Personally I would rather see every penny of that go towards building windmills but I guess other people disagree.

July 13, 2008 at 12:18 AM #238339anParticipantHave anyone done extensive study on how massive windmills farms would affect climates? Wind energy is being absorbed by these windmills. Does anyone know of the side effects when we have many many more of these farms absorbing all of these energy? I think the only truly green and endless energy we can use without any side effect I can think of is solar. But wind is cheaper and is profitable at today’s oil price. So, that’s a definitely great first step. Maybe with the big race for the next source of energy, we’ll have another break through. Only time will tell.
