Will Automakers Switch to Natural Gas?

The Pickens plan involves federally subsidized conversion of municipal fleets to ng; massive investment in wind; closing the ng to electric plants; and lastly a move to consumer ng run cars.

While some of the above is financially feasible and makes sense (save for the expensive closing of the ng to electric plants). A financially better, although not green, solution involves: 1) building coal to diesel and coal to electric plants; 2) doing the Pickens ng municipal car fleets and rich subsidies for wind; 3) building heavy oil refineries; 4) allowing the oil shale reserves and offshore drilling currently roped off by Congress to be exploited; and 5) continue the subsidies for electric cars and hypbrids. If you want to win, make sure and give it the full effort, the real Vince Lombardi. Half measures have been tried before but failed.
