Peterson's post was about fueling North America.

Natural gas is plentiful, and the distribution system for it, is already in place. ,,no need to liquify.

Natural gas burned in my furnace is already 95 percent efficient.

I do not know the efficiency of it burned to fuel cars and trucks, but i would assume that the losses of breaking natural gas down and turning it into liquid methanol, and then further distributing it, would be less efficient than taking it straight from the pipeline , pumped into vehicles .
