Too Hot for NBC...

[Warrior-Mentor]

NBC is refusing to run this ad for the Pickens Plan:

NBC changed its position after they received extensive feedback on how ridiculous their position was. Allowing even more proof that the MSM needs a good stiff boot to remove their head from their 4th POC.

Natural gas powered vehicles have been and continue to be available to consumers; the bottom line is that the majority of the market isn't interested, even with $4/gal gas prices. Supply and demand.

I always wondered why the average school bus has not been converted to a combination fuel/electric vehicle.

Most run a set route every day, morning and night. Most city and suburban routes are not that long. You would think a top covered in electric generation cells and some good batteries could give a big boost to a fuel/electric motor.

They sit out in the parking lot most of the day.

I would consider it...but we don't have the infrastructure to support it - yet.
(e.g. where do you refuel a natural gas vehicle on a drive cross-country?)

I think UPS local delivery trucks are converting to compressed gas.

Anyone else know about this?

Just Checked North Carolina, nothing, LNG, for over 250miles, quit checking after that.

Only heard rumors.

The newer package cars were all turbo-diesel for awhile.
This didn't work so well.

In the long run, maintenance costs and service life tend to trump fuel economy.
The turbo-diesels also tend to add to the amount of time it takes to complete a route.
The extra wages also offset fuel economy gains.

The latest trend is 3rd generation small-block chevys.
Converting these to CNG/LPG would be relatively inexpensive.
