Sounds great! Now educate us on the how-to's. How can my car be converted to natural gas/how much will the conversion cost? Would this apply only to new car purchases? What happens about repairs, can a typical fix-it shop still do my mtc? Where can I fuel up? Those are the most critical distribution channels to get working. Millions of Americans will gladly put our money into this plan. And for y'all who want to argue, this does not have to be the only answer to be a very good answer.

Playing devil's advocate, fork lifts using cng do not collide with other forklifts at 70 mph. I know the tanks on CNG have to be very thick to avoid puncture and explosion. Your right, there are a few CNG vehicles on the road, what happens when there are millions, with tankers and fueling stations. These are some of the problems they have to work out not to mention the scale of replacing the whole fleet of US Trucks and cars with CNG. A big job.

What candidate is supporting these ideas...

Utah is at the forefront with this with many vehicals going this route. Please correct me if I am wrong, But I haven't heard of an catastophic explosions. Also Most Fork lifts use CNG again no news..

Yeah and CNG gas cars collide into a CNG tanker next to a fuelin station it will look like a nuclear explosion. Probaly take out a couple hundred people. I like Boone Picken's plans but natural gas cars have let's say some safety/explosion problems to get over, not to mention the billions it will cost to convert cars and fueling stations. Scale wise this is like switching all house's and business to solar at once.

What about solar panels on the roof of everybodies house??Is it affordable? No.Can it be subsidized?, Yes.Why can't we have government help to finance solar panels and keep our dollars in America???

You don't understand...this was part of the plan since the beginning. So many natural energy sources wasted...this man is attempting to empower that. This is what we should of done 50 years ago.

Darkgravx12 (September 3, 2008 at 2:58 am)

THIS IS BRILLIANT! He will be making money yes...but his overall plan will not just span with his company, but many! other natural energy companies.Also, this will reduce our dependancy on foreign oil sources.

Funny how this guy owns a natural gas company and how nancy pilosy invested $5,000 dollars in his company? See any connections?
