CNG / Gasoline Bi-fuel Cars Are The Real Transportation Future

Compressed Natural Gas and Gasoline cars are the future. GM announced they will sell CNG Impalas next summer.



These new bi-fuel cars don't come with any sacrifice for the planet.  Its all bonus.  They include the standard size fuel tank plus CNG tanks.  See that?  They will go farther than a regular car and do it cheaper. 

Even the eco-nuts can't complain.  Natural Gas is by far the cleanest fossil fuel by any measure.  You cook your steak in it.  How bad can it be? 

Don't forget the electric fueled alternative is actually a coal or nuclear powered car. --produced in unionized centers -delivered by enormous wasteful permanent scaffolds. -compulsory bundled with the expensive, unproductive, pollution wrought windmills and solar panels made by slaves.

Not that I care about any of that.  That last sounds heartless.  Nobody wants slaves or pollution anywhere,  but its all a symptom of a larger problem which won't be solved by more of that problem.  Best to fix what you can in your own life and let China mind herself.  Still it's fun to show that free market resource allocation is the best environmental and social and fiscal policy.

The biggest problem right now is the lack of fuel stations.  Since the range on the CNG tanks are relatively small it would make sense to have a home compressor installed.  All your city driving can run off your own private fuel station. 



This could be the standard in 20 years.



From there I could see a world where NG becomes not just a motive force for consumers but also a primary power source.  There are plans for co-generating NG furnaces.  These are furnaces that provide power and charge a household battery while making heat for your home.  You can buy a backup NG generator at Costco right now for $3,000.  Its not that far off.  This sort of technology is a matter of engineering.  The fundamentals are well understood.

Imagine if home power stations made the big ones obsolete?  Imagine the savings in transmission and overhead?  It would be a democratization of energy use with existing infrastructure.  A revolution in soft blue flame.

Romney/Ryan Energy Independence Plan Quotes HMPM Stephen Harper

Today the Romney Campaign released a major campaign plank for their election to the Office of President of the United States, which includes several quotes from our Prime Minister the Right Honourable Stephen Harper. 

“As Canadian Prime Minister Harper notes, fostering a greater North American energy partnership that replaces OPEC imports with stable supply from secure sources at discounted prices should be a “no brainer.” And Mexico is now displaying a renewed interest in collaborating with outside partners to increase development of its own plentiful resources. By collaborating with these countries on energy development, America can guarantee itself a reliable and affordable supply of energy while also opening up new opportunities for American businesses and workers in the region.” (pg. 12)

This is international cooperation with close regional allies to promote economic development within the relative economic safety of North America for the benefit of all participants. Is this easy or what? It’s so easy when the only agenda is the welfare of the citizenry. 

This one policy plank alone is enough to win the election. It makes so much sense. Even the losers win. Everyone wins when the economy is free to grow. Everyone wins when people are free to grow and prosper and improve their lives and the lives of others. 

Obama’s response to his purposeful increase in energy prices? -Tap the Strategic Oil Reserve...again. Unbelievable. Just incredible. I’m going to stay away from the whys and wherefores of Obama’s disastrous energy policies. Suffice it to say that at the very least President Obama is grossly ill equipped and woefully incompetent to lead the free world. 

It’s never that simple though is it? Do you suppose it’s just a case of Forest Gump accidentally landing in the Oval Office?

The Prime Minister made an excellent move calling the Keystone XL a “no brainer.” In a world of lies the truth is a potent tool. Ezra Levant can also feel ebullient since the core essence of the “Ethical Oil” argument is also contained in the passage above. Sound logic and potent truth: deadly.

Sun News can also take pride in providing another quote from HMPM Stephen Harper. They do so alongside the company of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Department of Energy and so on.

Canadian PM Harper: “Look, the very fact that a 'no' could even be said underscores to our country that we must diversify our energy export markets…We cannot be, as a country, in a situation where our one and, in many cases, only energy partner could say no to our energy products. We just cannot be in that position.” (Bryn Weese, “Harper Determined To Get Canadian Oil To Asia,” Sun News, 4/3/12)

Read the whole thing right here. It’s important. I have only just scanned it myself. Every wonk and politico in the hemisphere will be all over it before long. Google has almost 4000 news articles at the time I write this already. Enjoy!Energy Policy White Paper 8.23
