The Benefits of Shifting to CNG for Fuel

First, I want to say that I have a self interest in advocating the use of natural gas--compressed natural gas or CNG as an automotive fuel. I own natural gas royalties from producing wells in East Texas.

That said, I definitely believe that a national conversion to natural gas or compressed natural gas (CNG) would be vital to America. This is because:
1) we have vast natural gas reserves right here in America
2) at the present time those reserves would adequately
provide us with 75 or more years' time to perfect direct
conversion to solar energy
3) free us of our dependence on foreign sources of crude
oil based gasoline which has unlimited negatives (wars,
economic and environmental devastation
4) CNG is a superior automotive fuel; cleaner burning with
far less residues than gasoline (imagine what would
happen if you burned gasoline in your gas kitchen
stove. The same thing is ocurring in your vehicle. Auto
engines will easily last 200,000 miles or more on CNG
5) All the technology needed to convert to CNG is already
in place--there's nothing to invent except the national
will to alter the infrastructure to create re-fueling
facilities similar to that of gasoline stations
6) we will gain control of our economic destiny by stopping
the estimated 700 BILLION DOLLAR annual outflow to
foreign countries. As that massive outflow of wealth
continues we are LOSING 700 BILLION DOLLARS that
could and SHOULD BE USED HERE AT HOME for positive
things like education, medical research, environmental
issues, healthcare, etc

So what do we need to do to regain our "economic destiny"? Write your Congressmen and demand federal legislation mandating that ALL automotive re-fueling facilities INCLUDE CNG. Write the big 3
automakers, GM, Ford and Chrysler urging them to increase the production of CNG powered vehicles. We can recover our economic future by simply demanding that our elected officials and our automotive (and truck) manufacturers rapidly convert this nation to a transportation system powered with AMERICAN fuel, COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS---the BEST fuel for AMERICA.
