With the economy on a balance beam, everyone seems to be looking for ways to cut back on anything and everything. What about the main commodity that is plummeting us into this downward spiral of bad times, GAS/OIL. Let us reference Picken’s Plan here and say that we go with a Natural Gas change over. The main problem with an alternative energy at this point is the infrastructure, or lack there of. They sell all types of Natural Gas conversion kits for almost any type of vehicle on the market. They even have a Honda NGV that C.O. discussed in a previous post, but what if you are on a trip that is more miles than your vehicle can travel on one tank. Sure it would be great if you only drive to and from work. That is when your “home refueling station” would serve as an excellent means of refueling. What if you have to get up in the middle of the night for an emergency and your car hasn’t fully replenished its tank.
We at “consider tomorrow” are going to try and bridge that gap. Whether it be Hydrogen, CNG, E85, or bio diesel, we think that infrastructure is the main problem why people are still going to the gasoline pump everyday to fill up. We believe that if there was a Nat Gas pump across the street from Shell or Exxon that people might start to believe that it is possible to change their cars over. Even before that, people(us, you, him, her) need to believe that our dependency on foreign oil has helped catapult us into this downward spiral.
We need people to go to T. Boone Picken’s website or CNG NOW and educate themselves on what is going on around us. We need to go the Department of Energy website and find out where there are filling stations that are already in existance. We don’t think people understand that we are on the verge of an energy revolution and we want to swing that pendulum so that everyone hops on board.

Dru-
I apologize I haven’t gotten back to you sooner, I guess I don’t understand the question.
Can you elaborate a little more on your question for me?
thanks Dru
