Pickens {does he encourage manufacturers & certifications}?

[barit1]

T. Boone Pickens includes CNG vehicles as part of his "plan". Is he actually doing anything to encourage more manufacturers to certify/produce CNG vehicles & kits?

Is he pursuing expedited EPA testing? Has any CNG vehicle actually failed current test rules/limits?

Detailed info is kinda hard to come by.

Re: Pickens?

At his meeting he did say that it was Un American not to use CNG since we produce it ourselves, unleaded needs to be on its way out, Jim

At the SLC meeting some folks asked about how to get more EPA certifications for retrofits and all Pickens really wanted to discuss was the need to get our trucking industry to adopt CNG/LNG as soon as possible. His stance is that light-duty vehicles are up to entrepreneurs to figure out.

Our discussion of Pickens and his Plan is mostly ongoing in the Lounge so I will move this thread there.

I am trying to find out about the kits, where to buy them and even some schooling on them. Everything seems to be on the west coast. Any information on kits how they work would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
