Natural Gas Powered Autos in Six Months for America (legal, independent, cost)

[joebaldknobber]

Natural Gas is very inexpensive, and is abundant in the United States.

Now if Walmart would would sell Natural Gas fuel at all its Gas Stations within 6 months;

and Ford produced a $17,000 car that runs on natural gas in six months that could be purchased through Walmart;

Ford would sell a ton of these cars;

and Natural Gas refueling stations would always be within reach.

NATURAL GAS WILL BE THE FUEL OF CHOICE IN TWO YEARS!!!

Having been in the heating industry for 20 years I've seen this show before, it's cheap now because there is a glut of product. It's not going to stay nearly as cheap as it is now, people will be switching to it for heat, cars, power plants etc. That will eventually drive the prices back up. Keep in mind the price of NG was sky rocketing right along with everything else back in '07. The only difference now is a lot more supply plus we've had a very mild winter.

Having said that I'd agree NG cars will be very prevalent in the future but it's only part of the puzzle of becoming energy independent.

If Ford tried to sell through Walmart, Ford dealers nationwide would launch a class action lawsuit to block it.

Ford is going to dump 1000s of dealers to sole sell through a retailer infamous for meddling in suppliers business model and pricing?

Two years? What's the hold up? Why don't you convert your car now?

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

Conversion is not as cheap as you might think, and here is why.....
Natural Gas Conversions Could Cost a Couple Hundred

NG has a long upside to match the same cost per BTU as oil. It will be cheaper then oil for a long time, even with the current glut being slowly burned down (thought I bet that takes 5 years).

What? Sell the Natural Gas at Walmart not the cars.
