Randy, The last I read on this a couple of years ago was that the Germans developed synthetic diesel from natural gas during WWII because they obviously had trouble getting regular diesel. Then a few years ago, one of the universities on the left coast reported to have reduced the process to 4 steps. Their report said that synthetic diesel produced better mileage, better power, and near zero emissions. Also, they were looking at a portable production plant that could be moved to some of the remote fields for processing and then truck the fuel to nearby pipelines for distribution. As someone else noted about the lack of NG fueling stations, that would not be the case as we already have diesel tanks and stations throughout the country. As a side note, T Boone Pickens, like others, promote what they think will make them money...to heck with you and me. Just some extra info. Best Wishes,
