Energy Secretary Steven Chu Should Be Fired for NatGas Views

I certaintly understand that nat. gas could be a huge positive as a transportation fuel.

However, Pickens plan is predicated on the assumption that it will take at least a decade before electric vehicles can have any impact.

Looking at BYD in China, the expanding fleet of UPS/Fed Ex and other transportation companies electric vans, the increasing number of electric cars in my community, ect... - I think his assumptions are incorrect.

It would take a significant amount of time to get enough people to adopt nat. gas vehicles - why not just skip nat. gas and go straight to electric?

The technology is closer then you think.
