I don't believe in 'climate change'as the green nuts explain it. I don't believe in
global warming. I do think compressed natural gas in a mass produced CNG vechicle is
a good idea. It costs much less than gas and one could filler er up from ones home
if one had natural gas. What more could one ask for. Other countries have these cars
so why can't we mass produce them. The US has unlimited Natural Gas.

Canada
Canada is a large producer of natural gas, so it follows that CNG is used in Canada as an economical motor fuel. Canadian industry has developed CNG-fueled truck and bus engines, CNG-fueled transit buses, and light trucks and taxis. Both CNG and propane refueling stations are not difficult to find in major centres.
United States of America
In the US, federal tax credits are available for buying a new CNG vehicle. Use of CNG varies from state to state. In California, CNG is used extensively in local city and county fleets, as well as public transportation (city/school busses), and there are 90 public fueling stations in Southern California alone. Although natural gas prices are rising, compressed natural gas is available at 30-60% less than the cost of gasoline, as a rule of thumb, in much of California. Personal use of CNG is a small niche market currently, though with current tax incentives and a growing number of public fueling stations available, it is experiencing unprecedented growth. The state of Utah offers a subsidised statewide network of CNG filling stations at a rate of $0.85/gge[5], while gasoline is above $4.00/gal. Elsewhere in the nation, retail prices average around $2.50/gge, with home refueling units compressing gas from residential gas lines for approx $1.50/gge. Other than aftermarket conversions, and government used vehicle auctions, the only currently produced CNG vehicle in the US is the Honda Civic GX sedan, which is made in limited numbers and available only in a few states.

Natural gas vehicles offer tremendous benefits but face serious hurdles. Emissions from cars, trucks and buses are one of our most serious sources of pollution, contributing to urban smog, visibility problems and greenhouse gas emissions. Highway vehicles account for roughly one-third of all carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides emissions, and half of all carbon monoxide emissions. Using natural gas rather than gasoline can produce major reductions in a number of vehicular emissions. In addition to being cleaner than conventional vehicles, NGVs reduce the nation's extreme dependence on imported oil, and the fuel cost is much less than the cost of gasoline or diesel fuel.
