I noticed that you are in Austin and thought your might be interested in knowing a little more about Natural Gas Vehicle options here in Central Texas.

The Honda GX isn't the only EPA approved CNG vehicle. I drive a new EPA Certified Ford Focus with leather interior and audiophile sound system with Sync and with the tax credits and rebates, it cost much less than the Civic GX. Other vehicles are also available and more are coming soon. Click here for additional details.

There is still only one public fueling station in Austin, but I am confident we'll see more built soon. I'm even looking at putting one in myself. In the meantime, you can always fill up at home the way Boone does with a Phill from Fox Service Company.

If you'd like to learn more about Natural Gas Vehicles, please don't hesitate to contact me anytime.

At 8:43pm on October 17, 2008, Dixie said…: I actually own 10 acres. Somedays I think it would be nice to live in a Condo but I have animals - critters. I moved here from MN where I had cattle and an Arabian Horse Farm, so I bought a new hobby farm here in SD cause I still had some livestock. I am getting back into the livestock, thus the reason why I live on 10 acres. Plus I love my privacy and living out in the country. I'd gladly share my 10 acres if someone wanted to build an energy efficient home on the property so we could go together in supersizing the energy efficient living with solar and wind power as we have lots of wind here on the prairie in SD. I have more trees than most of the neighbors but I do love the trees. My house was originally built for solar power (the roof is relatively flat with big windows facing the South) but nobody ever put it in, so in renovating my house wind power and solar power are what I'm working towards but the state of South Dakota is kind of fighting it, my electrical company kind of poo poo'd me when I spoke with them about wind power and solar power. Best of luck to you and Bless you. Dixie

Thats the big problem, I don't think anyone is gonna buy into this unless they can get the price down to say $2000 plus maybe $500 for home filling appliance like Phill which now costs about $4000. Yikes again! Thats where I'm trying to focus my blog on now. That is, how can we make this cost effective?

At 5:47am on October 12, 2008, Jen Taylor said…: Thanks, Don. I looked at your review, and it looks like a good read for me. I am currently teaching green technology classes to high school students. I have 3 classes with 30 students in each. So far, we have studied energy basics and solar power. I saw your solar oven. We cooked with a solar oven last week, and later in the class, students will be building their own ovens. Next week we begin wind energy, and then from there we go on to hydrogen and fuel cells.

Thanks for the comment.

I believe that babeque is a popular past time and this wood may be used instead of charcoal. Texas uses (makes) over one half million tons per year. As I allude to on my page the needs for energy vary region to region, there are over one million wood stoves in Nh,Ma,Vt,Me... The ammount of wood used 5 million cord.With the North East having the highest energy costs in the USA. Aprox 2.30 per square foot heating costs.This type of product far exceeds the energy of Cord wood. At the same time this product could be used in times of emergency one log can cook three meals a day ,supply heat during power black outs and boil water for drinking. Less smoke compact form and High heat. One might say less is more.

At 10:12pm on October 11, 2008, rgammie said…: Regarding converting your Subaru to CNG (compressed natural gas). That's the biggest problem with this market right now Donald, you can't. That is unless you have the skills and means to hand craft the parts. There are companies out there right now that possess all the right materials to convert virtually any car to CNG but cannot due to govt restictions (safety, air quality etc). I do know this to be a fact however, and that is that your Subaru can run on CNG if we could have free access to the parts. That brings me to a very important issue regarding the hinderances of the energy crisis and govt regulation. I believe that individuals as well as companies need to be free to take risks without regualtions. Can you imagine how the world would be different today if the government told two bicycle mechanics not to tinker with a flying machine!

At 10:07pm on September 13, 2008, Donald Mayfield said…: High temperatures for next week to be under 90!

At 9:43am on September 13, 2008, James Tracy said…: I agree. Please read my profile, after watching the 2 vids on my page, then my blogs.
I also ask every one to look at and consider this discussion, thank you.
