Yep, thats the problem. And T.Boone is salivating over the idea of Uncle Sam paying to subsidize that distribution network. and lobbying really hard to make it mandated fuel. Cant win in the marketplace? Just pay politicians to require folks to use your product. Where have we seen that sort of action before?
Ok, but, this is a PERFECT example of a proper use of government power; infrasrtucture. PROMOTE the general welfare. Build the backbone, the major pipelines, the commitment to nat gas.
We're talking an ENOURMOUS number of new jobs, not taking from place and giving to another as is the Obama model but, brand new jobs building the infrastruture. Then, all sorts of secondary, private jobs taking CNG from this backbone to the stations, modifying exisitng ones, building new ones. That is REAL work. REAL jobs.
Same for modifying, for setting your home up, all of that. It would be a wash the jobs that go from exisiting engines to building nat gas ones but, a wash is not bad in this case.
Then, and this is the best part, instead of over a billion dollars a day LEAVING our economy, that becomes something like a third, or less AND every last mother####ing stinking ass penny stays HOME.
In the mean time, oil use crashes. Think that through. Gasoline and diesel proces fall to parity with nat gas to remain competitve. More money stays in American pockets.
We are fools.
