Our nation should be in an aggressive move to using natural gas for auto/truck fuel, power generation and the like.  Oil and gasoline refining cost too much and wind/solar really aren't cutting it on…Continue

"I agree Fang--but NY might be waiting until 2080-2100 to see the benefit.  We'll be long gone.  More and more natural gas "finds" are being made nationwide."

"Unfortunately and with the low price of natural gas, maybe Shell is going to back out of many of the $3,250 per acre deals in Butler County and come back next decade and offer less.  Lets hope not."

"Doesn't it only take about 6 MCF of NG to equal the energy in 1 Barrel of oil.    6MCF x $3= $18 Vs $100 per Barrel of Oil What Gives NG is only 18% of the Cost of Oil!! Why aren't we USING IT!! Is it BIG OIL or Politicians or…"

"It really depends on the cost of the fuel.  Washington PA new station has a sign up for $2.99 GGE and Indianapolis sells for 99 cents.  The whole state of Utah is a $1.26 or less.  At a savings of $2.00 a gallon you are looking at…"

"The problem with converting your own vehicle, at least in Pa, is the fact that your inspection garage will not pass a CNG vehicle unless it is a certified conversion. Needless to say there aren't many models certified. My 2009 f250 has a system…"

"One of the real bumps in this road to CNG vehicles that I see is the EPA regulations causing the cost to convert to be way too much. A 2009 F250 v8 would cost me around $6,000. I don't drive nearly enough miles to recoup the cost, even at…"

"Our government does not want us using our own natural gas.  I don't know why.  To convert a truck over to run on NG cost about $5000 unless you want it EPA certified then it is $12,000.  If the roadblocks where taken out of the…"

USA Needs to Convert to NG at $3.00 per McF

Our nation should be in an aggressive move to using natural gas for auto/truck fuel, power generation and the like.  Oil and gasoline refining cost too much and wind/solar really aren't cutting it on a large scale.  Some  coal fired electric power plants appear to want to convert to NG.  I'm sure the private sector will convert when the price and timing is right.  Wouldn't cheper energy help most of our economy?  Isn't $3 per McF so cheap that drilling will soon slow down?…See More
