[OT] Pickens Predicts CNG Bill Enacted by May 2010
whether or not a bill passes by May is not substantively important. Symbolically, maybe; however, there is no infrastructure to support widespread use of these vehicles. If the federal gov't wants to move this idea, then it would be more effective to merely create NG fueling facilities at federal sites and subsidize creation of the same for state and local gov't vehicle pools. I suspect Obama could do the first by fiat - no legislation necessary. Of course, manufacturing of NG vehicles is also necessary, but hey, the federal gov't/we own GM so I suppose putting that into gear should be easy.
personally, i'd be a happy camper if this proposal became law and NG vehicles became common but it really looks like nothing more than another shiny bauble for Nancy Pelosi to play with.
