I think you're right on target! I've been looking into personal "filling" through my natural gas line into my house. If we could work a government "under-writing" of a % of the cost of installation and maintenance of home "stations", a good market for someone will be created to manufacture and distribute and sell these. It encourages ownership as opposed to going through a "middle-man" distributor i.e. the gas station, although puplic "stations" would be a must in any plan.
Congress should consider tax incentives for those converting ttheir home, car or anything else to natural gas. The incentive could be a % of the difference between comparable amounts of gasoline, diesel, kerocene or oil related products to that of natural gas. That would provide a pretty good annual incentive to convert to something manuafactured and distributed right here in the U.S.A.
Thanks for Joining Up Mark, WELCOME ABOARD!

(2) Personal Energy Plan: In addition to political support and action here, I encourage you to take personal action, a Personal Energy Plan in which you take control of your electricity. I have helped other members learn about saving energy by conservation methods and have helped other members learn about home wind/solar systems. I am glad to help you learn and answer any questions. On my page is info and links that will help you learn about power use, conservation, and home generation. These are things I have done myself at my own residence, and Mark I can help you do the same.
