Ted, 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. He is looking at it from the point of view of trade balance and national security implications (of importing high percentage of energy). If alternative energy (wind in his case) replace some percentage of power generation, but if it just replaces coal, there is no gain. But if it replaces some natural gas used in power plants, and if natural gas replaces some of the oil used in transportation, there is a gain. I am somewhat sceptical of feasibility of this in individually owned passenger cars, but fleets of buses, trucks or even train engines would be better targets. Joe
