You, my friend are soooo right.
Why have they not put any funds towards CNG?????
It's the better solution right now.

No food has to be used to make it,
No big cost is needed to make it,
It's not going to polute oceans,
We mine it and deliver it right now,
It's not $$$ over what cars cost now - Honda makes one right now, and yes the cost of it is higher right now, but if they sold over 100,000 cars, the cost would be that same as a gas burning car.

Where is the down side, really!

Check out the wells (unmanned) that are strewn across the southwest. Some of the local areas have smog worse than LA (by several fold), the drinking water coming out of the faucet is flammable, etc. Ask the people who live around all these wells feel about switching to CNG. Heck, look at the smog that blankets downtown Dallas.

I'm not saying CNG couldn't work, but the current state of natural gas well operations doesn't make me want to support it in the slightest. Each site is it's own entity so to speak so they slip by regulation for pollution. Add up the thousands of them just around the Dallas/Ft. Worth area though and the collective is anything but 'green'. Then don't forget to figure the thousand or so truck loads of stuff taken to the site, and taken from each of these sites (chemical wastes etc) which are burning diesel anyway.
