What makes natural gas a better alternative fuel than some others, like bio-diesel?
The answer is a very simple one. There’s no power differential between diesel and natural gas. Also, and perhaps most importantly, it’s by far the cheapest alternative fuel on the market. In fact, it’s the only fuel that doesn’t require government subsidies to be competitive and is in fact cheaper than either gasoline or diesel. And lastly, natural gas is a very clean fuel. Not only is there lower nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, it also has much lower greenhouse gas emissions – 21% lower to be exact.
