Short and sweet. If you are an American that pays attention to gasoline prices, THIS POST IS FOR US!
Natural gas can make a great transportation fuel. Actually Natural Gas burns cleaner than gasoline.
Energy is understood as BTU's. 1 gallon of gasoline has 250,000 BTU's of energy in an easily transportable form as the gasoline our vehicles use.
To get this amount of energy from natural gas the gas needs to be compressed or liquified.
Since natural gas is delivered nationwide at about 5 PSI it would have to be compressed to 5000 PSI in order to be delivered to your car where it is safely stored at 3000 PSI.
Here is the catch. A compressor used to bring 5 PSI Ng to 5000 PSI Ng cost about $350,000.
For 1 fast fill pump station. This is why we still rely on oil from foreign governments who DO NOT LIKE THE USA!
Currently we have a lot of things going on. If you love our Republic like I do then you can begin to feel the gravity of this situation. For our security the USA has to become energy independant. Using Natural Gas (Ng) as a bridge fuel between now and when Hydrogen becomes the transportation fuel of choice. Hydrogen is technically and energy carrier not an energy source. Hydrogen Cells therefore use Hydrogen to carry electricity that is then used to power our cars.
In the mean time I still see 100's of cars daily being driven by 1 person and no passengers. My feelings are if everyone would car pool and use public transportation during their work week, they could all have fancy cars and eat at fancy restuarants with their familie on days off saving 100's of dollars a month. A reducing our dependance on foreign oil.
