Profiting from the Pickens Plan: FAN, Clean Fuels, Fuel Systems

This is the only short term answer available. I think that we should be buliding wind turbines at the rate, which we produced tanks in WWII. I just returned from Thailand and they are already retrofitting cars to run on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). In just a few years and during a political crisis they have build an infrastructure to support the fueling of CNG modified cars, truck, and buses. They have at least one CNG refiling station for each province. This would be like having a CNG refiling station in every county in Texas. I really don't understand why the US just sits and hopes oil will go to $ 8 a gallon.

This will work if the government provides the subsidies to retrofit the current vehicles and the price of Natural is maintained at a significantly lower cost than gasoline no matter what the old companies say, even if the government has to regulate it.

US and Foreign manufactures are already building new cars with the CNG option in Thailand. This would be a easy retool of assembly lines and would apply to car, trucks and buses.

Whats not to like?
