U.S. Automakers Can't Afford to Overlook Natural Gas Opportunities

There's a wee problem of infrastructure. Until there's a place to fuel your CNG car, manufacturers won't build them. Building CNG autos is not a technological or financial issue - it is one of having enough fueling stations so that you can take the car out for a drive. And unfortunately, someone other than auto manufacturers will have to take on the burden of building that infrastructure. If our Congress had any leaders, they would jump start that by funding initial phases of the infrastructure and thus begin to ween us off of imported energy - but they appear to lack the courage to go up against big oil. Instead it's the mantra of 'dig, dig, dig' - which, even if enacted won't help us for a decade - and then only minutely. Such a shame - since we do have a viable solution with CNG.
