sure... but I am still wary of environmentalist fallout... imagine what happens to US status as Saudi Arabia of NG if fracking gets the same intensity of negativity as oilsands... I wish Redford et al WERE crapping in their own back yard...

Ho hum, deja vu, been there, done that back in the early 1980s. We [BP Oil International] were coming up with all sorts of ways of getting energy into vehicles other than through OPEC. We had a chain of methane [compressed natural gas] service stations for example.

Like Westport (WPRT) CLNE seems like a wonderful idea. But the statistics make it look speculative:

Why could not any one of the major oil companies add natural gas capacity to hundreds or thousands of stations across the country at any time? Few important urban areas are distant from NG pipelines.

Exxon could wipe out CLNE in a year (is my guess).
