We have enough …
We have enough KNOWN Natural Gas in ground inside our borders to power our entire Country’s needs…for 200 years.
In that time, one would think we could develop an synthetic source, yea?
So why don’t we use it? Politics and people are still asking for, and buying, gas powered vehicles.
Buy the Honda to …
Buy the Honda to save money. If you want to “go green” then work to create a stable population and reduce immigration.
Nearly all our usa population growth in the last 40 years, over 100 million, has come fro immigration. WHY? Who benefits. We need to have this debate and ask if we really need to go to a Billuion people by the end of the century.
It took me over a …
It took me over a year to get my carpool lane sticker for my car because the stupid, incompetent morons at the California DMV had my car listed as gasoline-powered rather than natural gas powered. The red tape I had to go through to fix this was unbelieveable. At the DMV, I am convinced that they are just running a jobs program wherein they hire a group of bumblers to fix the screw-ups of the other bumblers. Trouble is, you then have to deal with a 3rd lever of bumblers to fix THEIR screwups.
Judging by your …
Judging by your maturity level, I would say that the most appropriate mode of transportation for you would be a tricycle. Preferably with training wheels.
I will drive what …
I will drive what ever the way I want to. The only thing we need to do is find alternative fuel sources.
I own a Civic GX …
I own a Civic GX and yes, there ARE a few compromises. The trunk is about half the size due to the fuel tank, and the acceleration is a but slower although not dramatically so. The car’s range is only about 200 – 240 miles on a fillup, and there is not a CNG refueling site on every corner.
Our problem in the US is we still consider driving as recreation rather than just a way to get from point A to point B. We MUST drop this mindset for the sake of the environment and our nation’s future.
It doesn’t totally …
It doesn’t totally end our dependency on foreign oil, Natural Gas is taken from the top of oil pockets underground, so we still have to drill in the same places to get it, which means once we become dependent on Natural Gas they’ll just jack the price up on that.
California does …
California does seem to lead in about every technological change. LA is also the only place with hydrogen stations now.(’cause there rich!)
why is it always …
why is it always california?
exactly…this …
exactly…this isn’t going to solve the Running Out Of Fuel problem
But let’s be frank …
But let’s be frank here. Even NGVs are NOT “green” per se. Yes, they do help reduce dependency on foreign oil, but they’re still using an unsustainable resource. Believe me, I’m ALL for NGV vehicles, but it’s not the end solution to our global warming problem.
Because, like the …
Because, like the host says, there are lots of stations in southern California; and I’m sure many NGVs as a result. Here in Alabama there are 2 stations and not many NGVs.
If we stopped …
If we stopped burning NG for power stations we’d have a lot more of this resource to stretch out for transportation.
the lack of gas …
the lack of gas stations that allow for refueling. Why no gas stations with natural gas? 15 dollars to fill..but how would ceos of large gas companies survive? If the govt added natural gas to all gas stations im sure more consumers would buy this car and honda and all other car industries would make more NGVs
so then with all …
so then with all these advantages does Honda not make 100,000 more of these cars? what is the real reason these cars (which have been on sale in usa for over 10 years) arent the number one selling type of car? WHATS HOLDING THIS BACK ???
Besides the cleaner …
Besides the cleaner and cheaper fuel, there is another advantage of a CNG vehicle over a gasoline or diesel vehicle that is often ignored: CNG burns much cleaner than either gasoline or diesel, which means fewer harmful deposits inside the engine, which greatly increases overall engine life and reduces maintenance costs.
Here in Oklahoma …
Here in Oklahoma it’s only $.91 gge. My fiancee’s brother fills his up for about $4.50.
Why there are not …
Why there are not so many gas satations? specially in FL there is none.
Let the revolution …
Let the revolution begin!
the Big[was] …
the Big[was] Detroit 3 should make one of these cars[not buses]
why are they not?
they’re letting Honda and Toyota make the lead in the latest technology[hybrids]
all Honda dealerships should have a 24/7 CNG fueling stations.
at $1.20 per gallon and up for CNG at 36MPG this makes sense
Petrol/Diesel will be $7~$12 soon and im not kidding
wanna bet you bank account on this?
