The Current Stagnation of Natural Gas Vehicles in America [View article]
Wow, what a well thought out article on Seeking Alpha for a change!
I agree with everything you said, but sometime down the line (probably 20+ years from now) we're going to start running out of nat. gas too, especially if we use it as a transportation fuel. Eventually we're going to have to have a fleet of automobiles that run on electric engines or some kind of electric/gas/nat. gas engine. But you are completely right, if we go that route now, we won't cut down on pollution at all because 1/2 of our electricity comes from coal. However, I'm seriously thinking of buying a Chevy Volt when it comes out (if I can afford it) because it will basically eliminate my use of gasoline, so at least I can say I'm not shipping my money over to the middle east. Maybe one day I'll even throw some solar panels up on my roof to off-set all the coal used to power my house.
