New hydraulic fracturing (fracking) processes are creating excessive toxic waste water that has no way of being processed to remove the toxicity. The burden of trying to figure out what to do with all of the toxic waste has fallen on local communities, and they are overwhelmed with the poisonous chemicals. Another huge problem has been the leakage of this toxic fluid into ground water supplies. Drinking water, water used for livestock and irrigation are also affected. The problem is emmense.
So, it's cheaper to fill-up, It's greener than any other vehicle and there is no need for foreign gas ! So, what if it doesn't go as fast, they keep lowering the speed lmt. anyway !
The US has plenty of natural gas supplies !
This is an opportunity to create new US jobs !
The Gas stations will have to retool for natural gas !
In many other countries they have their cars custom fitted to take natural gas
@luchpockets I'm a CNG user and I agree with you. I don't know why everyone thinks you need the government's help to convert. There are commercial CNG compressor-dispensers that can be monitored over the Internet with a Verizon card. They could be installed in certain rest areas along the Interstate System for under $200,000. Just hook it up to the gas company and power line. You don't have to dig a hole in the ground for a tank like you do with gasoline.
I am a regular guy and I have a CNG vehicle. I didn't need any financial incentive from the government. Next year I will purchase another CNG car without the government's help. You are a 50 year old near-billionaire. Why don't you and Mr. Pickens shake some change out of your sofas and start implementing a CNG fueling infrastructure across the nation's highways. What happened to entrepreneurial spirit?
Now there is a lift on the ban for off shore drilling. This would, apparently, also apply to the Great Lakes. There is vast, untapped natural gas resources within the region and Michigan also has one of the largest underground storage facilities in the US - including salt caverns (the best kind). NG is less costly when the state needs it for winter use, but vast amounts can remain in storage. Dune development isn't the only interest this CEO from OK persists. Online info on MI NG site YA C
Gee, now I get it - just when Chesapeake stock took a hit. Aubrey is no environmentalist. He wants to develop natural habitat dune lands on Lake Michigan - he swooped it during bitter squabbling between Dennison siblings (the deceased father wanted it left to state but didn't complete the will). Alas, he's in a battle with the Saugatuck Dunes Alliance and Michigan Land Use Institute (log on to either, latter report of 7/07; also GREAT Holland Sentinel article) & dig Mr. Clean's intentions.
rota: It is to drive the demand of NG up so not only will the price go up for fueling cars, but it will go up for home heating as well. This is a win-win for the gas companies, and the biggest loser for the public.

tanks at a cost of about a thousand dollars !
Let's think on the positives !

Hmm, I wonder why Aubrey McClendon is all of the sudden jumping on T. Boone's hair-brained subsidy gravy-train scheme?
I don't suppose that T. Boone Pickens purchase of 1.83 million shares of Chesapeake Energy stock in mid-August would have anything to do with it.
