I have for years and years predicted that natural gas would be come a
fuel of the future .....not THE fuel....but a principal fuel. Theres
plenty iof it in the USA, Canada and Mexico, far more than oil at this
particular point in time.
The next big pipeline project in Alaska should be and probably will be
an LNG pipeline, there is some much of it there. The North Slope crude
oil supplies have dwindled. With all the hoopla by Republicans to open
ANWR for drilling, the most oil there is only a drop in the bucket of
what is needed so far as the nations enegry needs are, and the eclogical
damage by such actions would simply not be worth it, give the small size
of the contribution oil from there would make. The Cook Inlet oil fields
that supplies Anchorage and the rest of Southcentral Alaska with
petroleum products cracked at the Tesoro plant in Kenai are diminishing
rapidly, yet Alaska has HUGE natural gas supplies.
The natural gas burns clean, producing water and CO2 as by-products of
combustion, making for a cleaner, less polluted environment.
Natural gas does not produce acids and other contaminant that get in
engine oil breaking it down and resulting in wear, so one can go a lot
farther on an oilchange than you ever could on standard petroleum oils.
And the coup de gras in favor of natural gas for me is that I prol'ly
really could get 1,000,000 miles on my 2.1L WBX.
