Why doesn't Obama set up a system of natural gas stations along one of the Interstates? Or Jerry Brown for California? Russia just approved 600 stations in their country. There are now engines and conversions available for large over the road vehicles that are equal to diesel engines. Honda Civic and GM Impala come with Natural Gas engines.

OVERVIEW

Natural gas vehicles generally emit 13–21 percent fewer GHG emissions than comparable gasoline and diesel vehicles on a well-to-wheels basis.Medium and heavy duty natural gas engines were the first engines to satisfy U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) demanding 2010 emission standards for nitrogen oxides (NOx).The light-duty Honda Civic Natural Gas held the American Council for An Energy-Efficient Economy’s (ACEEE) title of “Greenest Vehicle” for eight consecutive years.Natural gas primarily consists of methane (around 90 percent), with small amounts of ethane, propane, and other gases. Methane is lighter than air and burns almost completely, creating carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.Natural gas rises and disperses quickly, so in the event of a leak or emergency venting, surrounding ecosystems and water systems are not threatened.
