Clean Energy Fuels just released a map locating 150 LNG stations they will be opening in the next two years
Attention NGV advocates: I find this hard to believe but Rick Santorum, running for President says natural gas is for trucks but no good for cars because it adds $15,000 to the cost of the car and the cylinders take up too much room...sounds like typical spoiled politician who is a border-line elitist...who can't be bothered with whats good for this country atitude. I won't be voting for him. Doesn't he know about the new CNG station that recently opened up in the Strip District of Pittsburg? Is he out of touch / generally glib? The adder for a Honda Natural Gas Civic is ~$5000.
Major milestone: With the recent opening (Dec 1st, 2011) of the cng station in Westfield, NY and the addition of stations in Pittsburg, it is now possible to drive my dedicated cng Honda civic from Rome NY to my hometown in Toronto.OH hopefully without using my AAA premium towing service.***HONDA DEALERS TAKE NOTE!
July 11, 2011 Chesapeake Press Release: In an effort to help break OPEC's 38-year stranglehold on the U.S. economy and to lower energy costs to American consumers, enhance national security, stimulate economic growth, create hundreds of thousands of high-paying jobs and improve the environment, Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE:CHK) today unveiled its plan for an achievable, scalable and affordable pathway toward a transportation future that runs on America's own abundant supplies of natural gas and oil from deep shale and other unconventional formations. Central to this private-sector initiative to stimulate world-class technological innovation and stronger economic growth is the creation of a $1.0 billion venture capital fund, Chesapeake NG Ventures Corporation (CNGV), dedicated to identifying and investing in companies and technologies that will replace the use of gasoline and diesel derived primarily from OPEC oil with domestic oil, natural gas and natural gas-to-liquids (GTL) fuels.
Is this the way free enterpise is suppose to work? NO GOVERNMENT HANDOUT NEEDED! Just keep regulations reasonable.
Is EPA/CARB certification regulations impeding the availability of NGV (natural gas vehicles) in this country? Is there an affordable process for individuals to do there own EPA/CARB certification for limited/unique registration available vehicle types?
