mkirsch, We will always need electricity. Can't see us going AMISH. I've also seen 2 NG power stations built near by in the past 20 years. They called them peaking plants. My guess is the peaking plants will be full time power stations. We also have two large NG lines in the county. One goes north to Chicago, the other to Indy.
I think T Boone said that we could be energy independent if all semis ran on CNG. And we have a large supply of NS.
Then we have a new style power plant that turns the coal into a gas and uses a gas turbine to power the generators. It been in operation for about 10 years. Not 100% sure it's cleaner but it was suppose to be more efficient.
