Its the Bridge we will have to use until those renewables are developed to take over some of the load. Two helpful energy sites: www.eia.doe.gov and www.naturalgasforamerica.com.

I think in the US the EPA is at the moment our biggest problem. There is a bill proposed by Utah at the moment to help force the EPA to get certification approved faster. At the moment the EPA is running certification as a business, and making some nice profits. Why do you think US based automakers offer NGVs overseas but refuse to in the US? They don't want to deal with the EPA's ridiculous "standards". http://www.aftermarketcng.com I agree with just about everything you said.

Additionally, having driven a shop conversion (a pickup truck with a battery of six compressed gas cylinders in the front of the bed)a very pronounced reduction in performance was observed.

I worked in the industry in the early sixties, but left the field because of a dangerous complacency demonstrated by my coworkers. It seems to set in as folks become comfortable (way too comfortable) with what they're doing. I've been out of the nuclear power loop for more than forty years, so maybe it's harder to screw things up now than it was then. Other than that - nuclear power? Bring it on! Rod,
