This is the future of automobile industry and transport. Clean and purified liquid natural gas that is safe and give high power to the car engine. Solar batterys and electric engines are not enough powerfull for public transport, transport of heavy cargo and allso for cold and bad weather conditions.

Sounds like a winner if it actually does reduce pollution and give more power for less unwanted by-products than petroleum. But let's not forget who has the best access to all of this natural gas....you guessed right! - the petroleum industries who now burn most of the natural gas off as a waste product in gasoline production. But wait, no need to despair...just put some money under the noses of the oil magnates from this natural gas powered transportation industry and they'll be beating each other to the punch to sell you a natural gas powered vehicle. (better yet...why don't we ever stay at home and enjoy what we've got instead of spending most of our time away from our homes to "enjoy" life. What's the reality behind everyone running away from their home base to find enjoyment elsewhere? is this how empty our lives have become???) and if you want to commute then 'telecommute!' ...I'm doing it now!
