Why do alternative fuel vehicles, including the proposed taxi, seem to look like a child's toy or a space-mobile for clowns?

It would be embarrassing to even sit in one.

OK…maybe I don’t understand this. I can’t afford to pay my natural gas heating bill now, each winter. …and it just keeps being projected as going higher. How will increasing the demand for naural gas to put in cars help the situation??

Who do we believe,who do we trust? I would like to understand and know all the true facts and not someones gloom and doom or someone elses get rick quick skeem. It sounds like Pickens is on the right track, but humon nature makes me ask why is he pushing this issue, I can only hope the answer to that is “for the better of this great country.”
We all need to do something in this Country to turn it around or the normal Joe is going to be in deep dodo in the future if he/she is hard working or not. Seem we can not count on our present govenment (the oil CEO’s) to help us out with this matter.

[...] NBC Bans Pickens Ad, Boone Responds Written by Craig Rubens No Comments Posted August 27th, 2008 at 3:37 pm in Big Green The Pickens Plan media blitz hit a glitch this week when NBC refused to air the latest television spot promoting the former oil tycoon’s natural gas and wind energy plan. The 15 second ad, entitled “Iran” and embedded below, asserts that Iran is converting its own cars to run on natural gas “and we’re not doing a thing here.” NBC wants the Pickens plan to prove that we are indeed a do-nothing nation when it comes to natural gas transport, the Pickens Plan says. While it is a strange nit to pick, NBC has a point. Things are being done, some of them by Pickens’ own natural gas car venture. [...]

Any new car design should also be a plug-in hybrid. Methane for vehicle fuel is reasonable, because it can be readily produced from biomass, much more so than ethanol. But that doesn't mean you should waste it on a car design that uses a fuel so wastefully. It needs to be a PHEV.

A PHEV that can run on renewable methane (or NG) as well as having a small gasoline tank is all we need.

Whoa that is one ugly car!

They would spend less going for a natural gas drop-in module like the hymotion pack, but for conventional cars.

Pickens apparently doesn’t understand that not only will natural gas production peak (as crude oil already has) but it will peak much faster than crude oil. We already have a large enough crisis looming with our dependence on natural gas for home heating and cooking. Why make it worse? Why invest in a technology that’s doomed to fail?

Waste of money! The natural gas vehicle is an experiment that has died. Pickens should move on...
