Sweet. Just one more way to plug it into my house. Solar pannels, grid electricity, and now I’ll just plumb a natural gas nipple to my garage. Peice o’ cake, sign me up for NEVER going to a gas station ever again! Bye bye middle men!

For anyone interested… Picken’s is scheduled to appear on Larry King Live on CNN this Monday (Aug. 4th) airing live at 9pm ET (and rerun at least once later on the same night).

ps to amante… I hate to tell you this, but it’s the oil companies that also produce most of the natural gas… that’s why they are called oil & gas… natural gas comes from the same source as oil… but is formed instead of oil due to the tempatures/pressures, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum#Formation

Those that think using natural gas for general transportation will be cheaper than using gasoline are in for a surprise. NG prices are already up significantly this century… increasing demand by using it for general transportation is going to cost us all more
