The purpose of this book is to enlighten the public of the
tremendous potential of natural gas. America currently has an
oversupply of cheap natural gas. And it has huge reserves, enough
to take care of this country's energy needs for the rest of this
century and more. Only a few other countries have more reserves
than are found in the United states. There is a massive drilling
campaign underway within the continental U.S. resulting from
discovery of new shale oil fields or plays and the development of
horizontal drilling techniques and fracturing. This has resulted in
the production of more natural gas than the country can currently
use. America is in position to be free of dependence on foreign
oil, to be free of smog and pollution of air resulting from the
exhaust of gasoline and diesel powered vehicles and relief from the
high prices of gasoline and diesel at the pump. All the country
needs to do is switch to natural gas to power its cars, buses,
trucks and trains. But America needs to wake up to the fact of
these new-found riches. Switching to natural gas can put millions
of people to work, put extra dollars in every motorist's pocket and
leave hundreds of billions of dollars in circulation in America
instead of being sent overseas. The U.S. is way behind other
countries in the number of natural gas vehicles on the road.
Sixteen countries have more vehicles powered by natural gas than
this country. There are two countries with 20 times as many natural
gas vehicles on the road than this country, this despite the U.S.
having nearly the most natural gas reserves and the most developed
transportation system. Switching to natural gas on a wholesale
basis in America is not happening. There are too many people in and
out of Congress and too many entities preventing it from happening.
This report seeks to answer whether and to what degree there are
forces and entities that are maintaining the price of gasoline and
diesel at artificially high levels, how fast can conversion to
natural gas as a fuel for transportation be accomplished, what are
the obstacles that must be overcome, are there people and entities
standing in the way and what are the benefits of converting to
natural gas as a fuel for transportation.
