We should be pursuing the development and distribution of abundant, cheap and clean American natural gas in the form of CNG as our primary alternative to oil based fuels. North America could soon become energy independent and we wouldn't have to buy any more oil from our enemies in Iran, Venezuela and the rest of OPEC.
