Absent from Washington and President Obama is a mention of a Federal Initiative to convert the federal vehicle fleet to natural gas. This would mandate that to start with all federal vehicles, ie. postal, ect. be converted to run on natural gas. Later the states could follow, and than the local municipalities. We have plenty of natural gas reserves, and we could kick our habit of foreign oil dependence. This would stimulate the economy, create a new industry and create jobs. This is a no brainer! Why the silence from Washington?
