[QUOTE=slapass;20324049]Oil schizophrenia - The US still imports about 40% of our oil needs. We have tons of natural gas and yet as a nation we will not move from one to the other for our cars. Nor will we embrace the electric car./QUOTE]
Hmm, I don't know about that. I'm seeing more and more electric and hybrids on the road these days, Tesla just opened a new dealership here in Montreal which is the biggest one in Canada, and there are tens of thousands of EV charging stations in cities across the country.
One of the biggest problems with Natural gas is the infrastructures and transport of that gas to gas stations. The infrastructure for electricity is already here and every home already has it.
Another big problem with Natural gas is that it has to be super cooled to be in liquid form, and the natural gas tank takes up a lot of room in a car.
