Re: Gas Prices

So, what would it take to push for Methane now? I find it interesting that Methane is never really included in discussions involving alternative fuel sources for automobiles, especially considering how plausible the two of you have just made it seem.

I have a few questions that may be answered in one of the links modest provided, but that I think would be good to discuss here.

1. What kind of modifications would be required in today's motor vehicles to allow them to run on Methane?

2. What are the primary sources of Methane gas?

3. Is there enough to supply the entire nation, or is something like this intended to be more of a supplement to fossil fuels?

4. Do we have to rely on natural sources of Methane, or can it be manufactured?

5. Methane is a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2. Should we be concerned about increasing global warming if Methane fuel were to become widely used?

6. What are the advantages/disadvantages of Methane vs. Hydrogen as a fuel.

It seems to me that people tend to prefer to believe what they want to be real or true, despite evidence to the contrary.

When what you believe is refuted by evidence, you are faced with a choice.
