Natural Gas for Vehicles - Key to Energy Independence. Once a nation realizes this potential and the relative ease of using natural gas in place of other traditional fuels, then important opportunities unfold such as improvement in environment, national economic health, safety and energy independence.
Individuals can benefit from a more economical fuel.
Before individuals, business or government institutions can seriously consider converting to natural gas they must be convinced of intermediate and long term supply. It must be understood that in most countries conventional proven reserves of natural gas are only the tip of the iceberg. These resources will provide energy far into the future. The rate at which they will be tapped will be primarily controlled by technology and economics. Although mass conversion of vehicles to gaseous fuels will be limited by conversion costs, price differences between alternate and conventional fuels, the infrastructure of refueling and national incentives, it should not be limited by concern for long term supply.
