Is Pennsylvania Missing The Ball On CNG Fuel?

Surge in Natural Gas Has Utah Driving Cheaply According to a recent story in The New York Times people in Utah have embraced their supply of natural gas as a vehicle fuel and are filling up on CNG for as little as .87 a gallon (as of last fall). Where is our state at in relation to this? Pennsylvania is a prime example of states who are missing the ball on CNG. We have huge deposits of natural gas within our borders and in a short time we could have municipal fleets and local/regional t… Continue

$4,500 cash rebate for trashing cars??

I did some research on CNG conversion companies and estimated costs. The link to this cost list is given below: http://www.transecoenergy.com/placed_images/pdf/RequiredParts.pdf $3,000,000,000 American taxpayer dollars will be spent to feed good existing cars to the scrap metal processors. Where do the scrap processors send the processed material? to China? Yup. And it appears that more than half of the participants have bought new foreign models. Great way to spend incentives. Oh yeah, we have… Continue

Why unconventional natural gas makes the 2020 Waxman-Markey target so damn easy and cheap to meet June 10, 2009

n Part 1: Is there a lot more natural gas than previously thought? I asserted it now appears likely that, thanks to unconventional supplies, natural gas alone could meet a great deal of the Waxman-Markey CO2 target for 2020 — without requiring gobs of new power plants to be sited and built or thousands of miles of new transmission lines. In this post I will explain the two key reasons why. First, today, dirty coal plants are being “dispatched” (or utilized) to provide electricity by grid operat… Continue

Natural Gas Fuel; A Bridge To....What?

Last year T. Boone Pickens brought the concept of natural gas as a vehicle fuel into the national stream of consciousness when he launched his “Pickens Plan”. Since then the concept has evolved to the point where there are several pieces of legislation making their way through Congress (Natural Gas Act of 2009)and the Senate which will encourage the more widespread implementation of this “green” fossil fuel. Recent estimates of the natural gas reserves in the United States indicate that we have… Continue

Natural gas seen as too cheap to ignore

Natural gas seen as too cheap to ignore Oversold market conditions and inflation fears are fueling interest By Jeff Benjamin July 19, 2009, 6:01 AM EST On paper, the case for investing in natural gas is straightforward: It is a clean, largely domestic fuel now selling at 74% below its peak price of a year ago. Despite the fact that natural gas is the worst-performing commodity year-to-date, a flood of money has poured into pure-play funds that offer exposure to it. Supply-and-demand fundamental… Continue
