While researching the demise of the Glendale facility I came across this document:
It appears the good ole BP is going to be building and running a new Hydrogen facility in Burbank at the same location as the CNG station.
I have read some of the posts regarding Clean Energy and still am amazed at the relative ease with which they have created a monopoly of California's CNG retail infrastructure. I would like to know what is the quid pro quo for city governments abdication of responsible energy management. With natural gas for sale in Utah at 64 cents/gal it is indefensible that the lowest rate to be found at a Clean Energy plant is $2.40/gal. Where is the "pony" for the public that forked out the monies to initially build the stations ? Why is it that the Glendale facility is now closed and won't open for "four to five years" if ever ?
Surely there are other companies that should be allowed to bid on the operation on these plants. Why is it that BP is the only company being considered ? The oil giants have had their chance and they have screwed things up royally; They shouldn't be allowed to participate in the new green economy.
Clean Energy must have contracts with these municipalities ? What are the terms ? Who is getting paid what ? When are their contracts up for renewal ?
I would love to see Honda approach the problem and do it right.
