Pickens plan is a great plan. Conversion isn't so simple but that is not the problem. Conversion of municipal vehicles that operate within a confined area would be ideal, not nationally. The infrastructure to support it does not exist. It's not just as simple as adding a pump at a station. Below you will find a CNG station. They are complex. They do use natural gas just like you have at home. It needs to be compressed to an average of 2500psi and it must be extensively dried. It's not much cheaper than carbon fuels and the mileage per gallon is relatively the same.

So, I see a definite need for the T. Boone Pickens plan. I just see it more locally used to aid in our carbon fuel consumption. Which would aid in reducing fuel prices.

CNG was getting big in the 90s until Clinton killed it. We tried it once and it didn't work.
