"I think you may be underestimating the infrastructure required to convert all those cars and deliver the NG. " Maybe. But it is something that can start at any time. "all electric is probably less than 5 years away." Not to any extent. For that to happen, we would need the battery technology in hand right now. We don't have it. There are some things that might work, but they might not. Yes, there will be some all electrics. We have them now. But, the batteries used are expensive and aren't likely to get a whole lot cheaper. Plus, they depend on materials that are in short supply. Again, this is a bumper sticker issue. And a lot of it can be done grassroots. That has an enormous appeal. I am just pointing out that this is the sort of thing that can have an effect that goes beyond its technical merits. It gives a focus that most of the other solutions lack. And it should be pretty easy to get most people to buy into it. This is the sort of thing that potentially could change the game. The solution isn't ideal, not by a long shot, but it has a lot of potential.
