Yes. Because its "NOT" about lowering gas prices, but about consuming a "Domestic" source of energy for National Security. Otherwise we get embroiled in Middle East Conflicts or have to deal with Chavez running off at the mouth. Or Nigerian shutdowns because some AK-47 wielding mob attacked a rig.

But besides those issues, we will also lower our Trade Deficit and keep American Dollars in American Hands. I rather buy oil/gas that was pumped from an American Well by Americans than give my money to the Saudis.

So I say, start the drilling, and start it now. For Americas Economic and National Security interest. To hell with the hippies, we need Oil to run a 21st century economy. Else somebody get me a horse and a box of candles. We are going back 100/yrs.

Do you know a shop/company to convert my car to natural gas in Northern San Diego, CA area?

Check with your local supplier, if there is anyone they will know.
The problem with this conversion is where do you put the tanks. DOT has restrictions on how and where they can be mounted, and it will not be pretty.

Im buying a new stove. We have natural gas, but I see there are new stoves that have gas ovens, yet they also have an electric element for broiling. I was always under the impression that real fire was better for cooking.

What are the advantages of having one of these hybrid ovens? The guy at the store told me "professional cooks prefer electric broilers" which of course sounds like a lie just to get me to buy the oven.

Any thoughts?

I LOVE GAS BROILER

It would be irresponsible for someone to say that or Global warming is caused from the sun and
just ignore it. Our just say are Global warming is caused my some natural occurrence and just ignore and do nothing about Global warming.
If or Global warming is caused from the sun then this could be
double trouble for Earth or any other natural occurrence.
Because we may also be contributing to global warming
a small amount would be enough to be very serious. This would be more reason
to try curb are C02 gases and try to reduce green house effect. What I saying is just think about
the fact if this is a combination of a natural phase occurrence of global warming and also the added man made affect added to the natural phase. Then it could be a very bad Global Warming!

The greenhouse effect is well enough understood to know that fossil fuel emissions have exacerbated it. The earth had a naturally balanced carbon cycle, with two primary mechanisms to convert carbon dioxide to oxygen. These are the ocean plankton and the rainforests. We have been increasingly using fossil fuels since approximately 1850, coal for power generation and petroleum for heating fuel and transportation fuel. At the same time, we have been using our fresh water supplies as waste transport systems to convey pollution into the oceans (this killed vast amounts of plankton and prevents it from surviving, as we were warned by Jacque Cousteau 40 years ago), and we have been burning rainforests to raise cattle, (this also creates deserts wherever we have converted land and managed it exclusively for grazing – which we still do in the united states, as well as africa and south america, and australia, and now asia). The combination of our brilliant efforts brought the earth’s carbon dioxide to oxygen conversion mechanisms beyond their threshold in 1996. Since then, the concentration of greenhouse gasses has sharply risen, and continues to rise. Methane is a greenhouse gas, and natural gas wells continue to vent gas from their wells whenever they need to. When the separate carbon dioxide from natural gas, they are still allowed to release it into the atmosphere. One company on one gas field in Utah has a station which puts 250,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year. Even though congress had already passed laws requiring clobal warming to be considered in federal actions, the government refused to listen to it’s own scientists when it was suggested releasing CO2 was probelmatic, and instead of insisting the company do something else, they cut the funding for their scientists. Climate change is accelerating, each year, the ice melts faster, and faster, not only at the poles but also at high elevations like Mt Everest and Kilamanjaro. Although scientist have been warning politicians about this for more than 30 years, the politicians are being put into office by the corporations which profit on fossil fuels, grazing. Doing things in a way which wouldn’t pollute rivers would lessen their profits, and it would also cut into the bottled water industry at this point in time. So, anything done in the way of listening to the truth meant giving up their false power and unfair profit. Thus, they spread dissinformation by buying the media stations which reach most of the population and by threatening to withhold research money to universities like MIT if they didn’t cast doubt on the issue.
Get it?

We have large reserves of Natural gas which we’re trying to sell as cheaply as possible to China, whereas Countries in South America are using the gas for vehicles and power generation. Wouldn’t this be less polluting than oil and coal or even electric cars that run off power generated from coal fired power stations. This could also reduce our importation of oil. Also several people have suggested ethanol, but in Brazil where they are doing this I thought the large amounts of area devoted to growing crops for ethanol had created another environmental disaster.

wind energy is the best! WHAT DO WE WANT? WIND POWER! WHEN DO WE WANT IT? NOW!

Its not its stealing from the American citizens who put that crook in the White House.

There are almost more drilling rigs working in the US now than at any time going back to 1986, and almost doubled in the past four years You dont get record storage of natural gas, and crude oil, from shutting down rigs. You get it from drilling.for it.

I have never been able to get a gas broiler to work. The flames shoot upward, and all of the heat dissipates into the oven…my food comes out warm, but not broiled.

Alternately, I’ve had great luck with electric broilers. I grew up with an all electric kitchen, so it’s like breathing for me. But the electric broilers I’ve used have worked consistently, getting the heat directed toward my food, which accomplishes my goal.

That’s my two cents, which is probably worth about half a penny.

It’s time we start taking back our lives from these ripeoff companies.

- It will cost most Canadians about 10 per cent more to heat their homes this winter than it did last year, despite the fact that natural gas prices have been low recently, the head of the Canadian Gas Association said Wednesday.

Michael Cleland said the reason for the increase is that natural gas distributors buy their supplies well in advance of the home-heating season, which begins around this time of year and lasts until March.

So even though prices for natural gas have been at low levels recently – around US$6.78 on the New York Mercantile Exchange Wednesday afternoon – they were close to double that during the summer, when distributors were stocking up.

Try living in the UK, all our Gas and electric companies have raised our prices 35% in the last month despite making record profits!

Problem starting–need someone’s kind help

Hello Everyone!

My CNG vehicle turns over but does not start!! Just prior to this problem, the truck wasn’t even turning over, so the starter was replaced. Immediately thereafter, I had the above problem (turns over but not start). Valves are open, it has about 1/4 tank of fuel. This has conversion kit of IMPCO technologies.

If anyone has any ideas, it would be a great help. Even more difficult, I am outside of the country and a relative is addressing this problem, who is not familiar with CNG vehicles.

Thank you for any help you are able to provide,

Ron Millar

Has to be fuel or spark problem. Try a light spray of starter fluid into the intake. If it starts on that but won’t stay running, it’s a fuel problem. If it won’t start, it’s a spark problem.

Either way you’ll probably have to get it towed to your mechanic to sort it out.
