I drove past this between Salida and Cotopaxi on State Highway 50 in Colorado. I had to turn around and tell whoever that I stood with them totally assuming I was correct. I was and got the biggest hug of appreciation for doing so.

From my understanding, there are close to 3000 children being held around this country after being seized from their parents at the border.

Many will never see their Mom and Dad again because Republicans are totally evil.

You bastards!

Your Home As Your Fuel Tank

At the end of the last month the prez was in Denver and was emphasizing the importance of natural gas. Obama announced new incentives to get large trucks to run on natural gas, plus help for cities to convert their bus fleets to natural gas. I agree and there is much new gas production infrastructure already on line and growing in Utah to meet what has to be an ongoing increasing demand. 

Wanted to say what could of been from the way back machine. In the early 80's "Cushman" for whatever reason attempted to market a natural gas refueling station for use in ones garage or wherever a source was located to refill vehicles that had been converted to run on natural gas.

Because of the dynamics of this fuel it takes awhile to refill. I thought this was the coolest idea. Just the idea of having a source of fuel for your car at home intrigued me. This cost like 2k or something and then there's the retro to the motors. This device was not big at all. Looked all over but could not find one word on this so you have to take mine. That's all mute as it went no where and in my opinion the advantages outweighed the negatives.

This had a chance to make a huge impact. I believe it was never marketed correctly and it's too long ago to even speculate what forces were at play during that time.

  1. I don't understand "natural gas." Is it a gas like what heats your home or a liquid like what I put in my SUV?

    If we have so much of it here in the U.S., why aren't we using it more instead of importing fuel from OPEC nations?

  2. Yes it does heat your house and that of course was the source. This is all piped and there is pressure involved along with heat. All I can say Christopher is to Wiki it.

    It's more of a municipality thing because of the piping. In the country propane is used.

    One of the benefits is water vapor for emissions.
