Nice truck with plenty of horsepower to suit my needs.
Video played just fine, for me.
On the natural gas side, I’m a fan. I’ll throw some numbers at you (you can search CRS.gov, the Congressional Research Service, for more detail, if you want it). We’ve got roughly 31 billion barrels of oil available to us, here, if we would drill it. We have @ 1.8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, if we could access it. That’s roughly equivalent to 26 billion barrels of oil. At a $100/barrel, that’s equivalent to $2.5 trillion worth of oil. Of course it would only cost us 1/4 of that ($4/gallon gas versus $1/gallon natural gas). And it would put a lot of people to work.
the fabrication looks very nice. only thing that bothers me is the steering wheel is turned when the wheels are straight, i believe the proper pitman arm would fix this
Try again, the vid worked just right, so I got it on!!!!
The reason the greenies are not on board with natural gas is the environmental impact associated with the mining process called hydraulic fracturing or FRACKING. It is widely believed that the process contaminates the ground water witch the gas companies avidly deny. There is some evidence supporting both sides if you choose to research it. Here are a couple of links, take anything from WIKI with a grain of salt but they usually give a decent overview. The Scientific American site has clout in the scientific community so you can trust the data published on there site.
