Title: Emerging Market For Natural Gas Vehicles

Abstract: THE NATIONAL CONCERN OVER THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE LARGE PART PLAYED BY AUTO EMISSIONS IN AIR POLLUTION IN MAJOR URBAN AREAS IS INSPIRING A GROWING INTEREST IN THE CLEAN-BURNING CHARACTERISTICS OF NATURAL GAS FOR AUTOMOTIVE FUEL USE. That quote is from the A.G.A. monthly magazine issue of January, 1971. More than 20 years ago. My point is simply this. Youve heard alot about NGVs for the past several days. Their benefits, their technology, their environmental attractiveness, and the abundant supplies of gas available for that market. All of that is positive. But all of that isnt quite enough. We in the natural gas industry know that the inherent advantages of our fuel were apparent 20 years ago, when the statement I read to you was made. There was an environmental concern then, too, as now, and all the inherent benefits of gas were apparent then yet we couldnt get NGVs to really take off. And weve been working to promote NGVs during those 20 years. But the real turning point for NGVs lies ahead, just ahead. Because its not enough to be the good guys. The guys with the white hats. Or the white handkerchiefs, if you will - remembering the famous white handkerchief test they like to do in my hometown. New York City, to demonstrate our clean fuel. It takes more than being right. So strong is Americas liquid-fuel psychology that it will take reaching a moment in history, too.
