Cramerica Runs on Natural Gas

The projected difference between the peaking of nat gas and crude is going to make a huge impact on nations as to whether they are dependent on oil or gas. Take a look at the curves I have posted at goodstockinvesting.blo... that show how drastically different the supply situation becomes in just 10 or 15 years. It is so critical that the U.S. get its transportation converted to gas soon. Electric cars draw their energy from electric power plants, which generate half their energy from coal, the dirtiest of all fossil fuels. Electric cars just are not ready to get us around like we're used to, but nat gas cars only need a conversion done to what we already have. And because gas costs just $42/bbl of oil equivalent, that conversion pays for itself pretty quick. And gas is so much cleaner than gasoline, engines last much longer and cut CO2 and all other pollutants way down. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol - nothing else could immediately cut all pollutants like natural gas. It not only would free our country of peak oil and/or Middle East catastrophe, it is the most aggressive way we have to fight for a green planet. According to Cramer, this concept of domestic gas as a strategic bridge fuel may finally be dawning on Washington.
