Coal pollutants include particulates, mercury, sulfuric acid, nitrogen oxides, etc. It is responsible for millions of early deaths yearly. Natural gas is the cleanest fuel there is, aside from hydrogen. It is the cheapest, and the most abundant. Producing and using natural gas is the best solution for base power, in conjunction with solar, wind, geothermal etc. There is plenty of natural gas all around the world, and it can be accessed with new and future technology. <a href="http://www.worldwatch.org/sy" target="_blank">http://www.worldwatch.org/sy</a> The main concern for environmentalists worldwide should be to cut the use of coal, especially in antiquated plants. Here are the top ten coal burners: <a href="http://www.treehugger.com/clean-technology/what-are-the-top-ten-coal-burning-countries-on-the-planet-whos-1.html" target="_blank">http://www.treehugger.com/clean-technology/what-a...</a> Dead link. Just search their site. China burns almost as much coal as the rest of the world combined. It is possible for the whole world to drastically cut coal burning and benefit the health of all. Coal pollution travels around the world. <a href="http://www.ucsusa.org/clean_energy/coalvswind/c02c.html" target="_blank">http://www.ucsusa.org/clean_energy/coalvswind/c02...</a> stem/files/184_natural_gas_FINAL.pdf <a href="http://green.autoblog.com/2013/01/23/scientists-sound-alarm-on-soots-effect-on-global-warming/" target="_blank">http://green.autoblog.com/2013/01/23/scientists-s...</a> <a href="http://www.naturalgasamericas.com/study-natural-gas-is-much-needed-tool-to-slow-global-warming-7383" target="_blank">http://www.naturalgasamericas.com/study-natural-g...</a> Natural gas is the future of energy. It is replacing dirty old coal plants, and dangerous expensive nuclear plants. It will fuel cars, trucks, vans, buses, locomotives, aircraft, ships, tractors, engines of all kinds. It costs far less. It will help keep us out of more useless wars, where we shed our blood and money. It is used to make many products. It will bring jobs and boost our economy. It lowers CO2 emissions, and pollution.

No large American oil and gas company has done anything to help us use our natural gas in transportation. Shell (a Dutch company) has, ENN (A Chinese company) is. We should consider and export tax on natural gas that will build out our service station infrastructure to all areas, for both CNG and LNG. It should also support conversion of all sizes of trucks. This will allow us to be energy independent faster than anything else. Less demand for domestic diesel and gasoline will help Americans see lower prices in gasoline and diesel also. This would be a small price to pay for the privelige of exporting vast amounts of natural gas, which I heartily support.
