Why don't we ever hear from the API or other natural gas lobbyists pushing our professional pols in Washington towards natural gas as the new "green fuel"?
Maybe they could push for government subsidies (such as for farmers) to NOT produce to preserve the excess capacity for the future while the infrastructure is being developed to replace coal fired electric plants and CNG propelled autos?

Obama is putting on a show for all the Amreicans who don't have a clue how big our deficits really publically calling for $100MM budget cuts.

CNG is a good solution to a portion of the problem- clean burning, relatively inexpensive, and US- and Canadian-owned and produced. The infrastructure is mostly in place to transport it wherever its needs to go.
