cj,

But that requires replacing the fleet. Probably several times. Most any IC engine, save diesels, can be converted to LNG. It has the advantage of using existing technology.

Now, I am not saying it is the best possible solution. It has some severe limitations that haven't been discussed. The most important being that LNG just doesn't have the energy density of gasoline. So, assuming you even have a trunk, you lose it. And you don't have the range.

I have ween some UPS trucks using it. It would be great for buses too. It gets a bit more difficult with individually owned passenger cars, but it does not have to be all or nothing...
