But the politics could play strongly in its favor. Try to look at this from that point of view. It is simple to explain. It tackles several issues at once. Prototyping the systems needed are completely off the shelve and can be done in a matter of months. It doesn't take a huge capital outlay. And it could involve the whole country working together with visible and tangible near term progress.

I like the concept of a national project but I think its wrong to focus it on just one solution. I think any national push to get us off oil should be multi faceted........with Nat. Gas acting as one of those facets. I mean what do you think the reaction would be if we have this big push to get us off oil by converting all cars to NG only to have this come up as an issue again 5-10 years down the road when we start to run out of NG. We all know Americans discourage easily.......after all, we are a nation of whiners. <g>
