Two downsides. It isn't the best solution by any stretch of the imagination. And it puts a lot of dollars in Pickens pocket.

More downsides.......its only a temporary fix. We have a lot of nat. gas......and we've burnt off a ton in the past....but its not an unlimited supply. We are only putting off the inevitable. Eventually all those converted cars would be obsolete. In addition, isn't NG much more combustible than gasoline?

I would rather we use natural gas solely for producing energy to light homes and businesses. No more oil and coal. Most generating plants already are equipped to convert to NG when the air is too smoggy to burn oil. As far as I can tell, there would be no need to make any huge financial outlays. I am not sure what I am missing but I suspect there is some reason why this isn't happening.
