To a biologist CNS means Central Nervous system. But what the heck does CNG mean. Well it means Compressed Natural Gas. The gas we have been finding in abundance across the United States. So much so that we, the Americans, are now the SAUDI ARABIA of natural Gas reserves! And the funniest thing happened a Production Car Maker is making a CNG version of a very popular vehicle with CNG as the energy source. And it is easy to fill up! And quick! Unlike gas, NG is not purchased from the OPEC cut throats that FIX prices. And unlike electricity it won't require a multiple hour charge to get a fill up! What stands in the way? Filling stations. Three things could help this. Our state legislature could eliminate one these obstacles.! What would that be? It would be to provide the infrastructure currently available to the Metro bus services, and the major energy utilities. These gas stations have been filling up their Cars, vans, and buses SAFELY FOR YEARS! All we need to do this is to have our legislatures require that the municipalities and utilities to open them up to private individuals. This would eliminate the roadblock. And then the savings could begin! The current cost, the current cost, yea it is worth repeating, are you sitting down? The current cost of NG is from 1.05 to 2.65, the price I just mentioned is the liquid gasoline equivalent. And as NG becomes more prevalent the prices will be more standardized! We could see one major improvement to the Honda Civic GX that it would be more prevalent too! What is the Honda Civic GX the first Production Natural Gas but I hope and predict not the last! And lastly we should abandon tax credits for hybrids but maybe offer accelerated depreciation allowances to Gas Stations that add NG filling stations.
