And btw thanks for asking me. Always enjoy the opportunity to point out how ignorant some of our self-professed geniuses are.
Below heindicates he thinks you can burn LNG in an engine. He has no idea what LNG even is. As a liquid, LNG can't even be ignited. Of course, as it warms up from -260 degrees (which is the temp needed to liquify natural gas) it evaporates ie. turns to a gas and that gas is VERY flammable.
But that requires replacing the fleet. Probably several times. Most any IC engine, save diesels, can be converted to LNG.</>
Going on:
Natural gas pipelines cover much of the country. So transportation costs could be less than gasoline. In many cases, a station could be set up using nothing more than municipal gas lines, a pump to liquefy it
LOL - He thinks LNG is compressed natural gas. LNG is liquified by cooling it. It stays at normal atmospheric pressure.
Now, frankly, one advantage this plan has is in the political realm. Here is a grand strategy to get us off of foreign energy. Completely.
Except we import LNG and will be importing more and more over time as the demand for natural gas rises for electrical power to back up wind power, solar power, and power electric vehicles, hybrids.
Yes, all those great ideas for alternative energy involve increasing demand for natural gas, which we are gonna have to increasingly import - from among other places, the ME. But liberals haven't studied energy issues enough to realize this.
