USA, Boston
With awareness of natural gas vehicles still relatively low, a tipping point could be coming with mainstream media starting to pay more attention to natural gas as a serious alternative to traditional transport fuels. The respected Boston Globe posed the question on the weekend, asking if the US is overlooking natural gas as a fuel alternative. Comparing the US to Europe, the item highlights the success of natural gas vehicles, both from an OEM vehicle production and CNG refueling infrastructure points of view. The item also quotes IANGV Executives, Rich Kolodziej and Dr Jeffrey Seisler. With oil now at $130 + per barrel, we can expect to see more coverage like this in the near future.
