What did Jack Kemp of New York mean –natural gas prices?
In 1981, when regulations were holding the price of natural gas below its free-market level, then-Congressman Jack Kemp of New York said the following in an interview with the New York Times: "We need to decontrol natural gas, and get production of natural gas up to a higher level so we can bring down the price." Evaluate the congressman’s statement.
My interpretation is: Removing a price ceiling usually results in the price of natural gas rising or falling to equilibrium.
What do you think this means? Do you think my answer is incorrect?
I think he meant if natural gas regulations were removed production would increase due to more expectation of profit from industry players.
What are the benefits and drawbacks to powering cars with natural gas?
Is natural gas more or less efficient? Is it more or less expensive? Is it widely available for an average driver? Please include links. Thanks!
basically, natural gas is less efficient, although it is not the whole solution to the climate crisis or the fact that we are running out of oil. for example: ethanol, a natural gas made basically of corn, is about 30% less efficient as regular gas, but is just more bad news for us because 3rd world countries will plant corn for ethanol instead of wheat, and other crops, this will cause a world food shortage and the price of food and ethanol would skyrocket.
in my opinion, the best solution for humanity would be that we farm grow algae in special facilities (maybe even over dry oil fields) to convert into biodeisel. then we can eat all the corn we want.
What are the economic advantages and disadvantages of natural gas?
the disadvantages of natural gas is that it is expensive for the power stations to buy it. therefore they may not be able to reach the demand for electricity and will have to use alternate energy resources.
Why is my natural gas furnace making buzzing sounds?
I have a natural gas furnace and noticed that on an intermittent basis it makes a buzzing sound. At first the buzzing sound didn’t happen that often, but now it is happening more frequently.
The furnace will buzz for several seconds and then stop. Then at some random point it will buzz again for another few seconds. This only happens with the furnace is actually running.
The furnace is still producing heat. In fact, apart from the buzzing sound, it is working normally.
Well you got all the smart answers, now I’ll try to actually held you.
Your gas furnace has a blower motor. There usually is a metal access panel over the internal parts of the furnace. Next time you hear the buzz, go to the furnace and put your hand on the panel, I’ll bet it is vibrating when the blower motor is working. If it is not that panel, try a different panel.
When you find the buzz panel, you’ll have to secure it so it doesn’t vibrate. If this doesn’t fix your buzz noise, you may be forced to call a repair man to do more investigating, but it’s usually some that gets lose when it gets warm. I would be surprised if it were not just a lose panel cover.
Any incident on CNG ( Compress natural Gas ) Vehicles ?
Any incident reported at your area on the CNG vehicles , for example gas tank explodes or car get burn , this kind of stuff ?
Pls advise ….
CNG powered cars are, in many ways, SAFER to drive than gasoling powered vehicles for several reasons.
Because the CNG is under pressure in it’s tank, the tanks are designed to be, virtually bullet proof. It is damn hard to break open a CNG tank. Of course, like in any vehicle, the fuel lines may be ruptured, but, unlike gasoline, which tends to pool under a car and give off highly volitile fumes, natural gas is lighter than air, and, any escaping gas will tend to float UP and dissipate into the atmosphere. Out in the open air, natural gas is very difficult to ignite once it starts to dissipate.
I had to do a lot of research on alternative fuel vehicles for a previous job, and I had yet to find any verifiable information on any injury or death from a collision in a CNG vehicle, that was atributed, in any way, to the fuel type.

Natural Gas Car Conversion
here’s an IMPCO Natural Gas Conversion system on a Chevy Impala. IMPCO converts cars to run on propane and natural gas. These converted cars can also run on gasoline, making them a bi-fuel vehicle. Since the alternative fuel infrastructure is not fully developed, idea is that the driver can use gasoline as a backup between NG/Propane fillups.
