I have talked quite a bit about the dangers of CNG vehicles, but the much bigger danger is the CNG infrastructure required to maintain them. CNG pipelines, tanks and fuel depots would cover the country.
These are all ideal targets for terrorists. All they need to do is violate the integrity of the high pressure pipeline or storage tank, and massive amounts of methane will immediately disperse across a wide area. One spark and a massive explosion occurs, like what happened in Brenham, Texas.

Building this infrastructure would provide America’s enemies a simple and nearly indefensible way to destroy the country in a matter of a few minutes.
It has happened before, under much less extreme confditions. In 1906, San Francisco was destroyed by fires caused by ruptured low-pressure gas lines after an earthquake.
What Obama is proposing is vastly more dangerous. Which makes me wonder – is he an idiot, or is he planning genocide? His justification is to reduce CO2 emissions by a few percent. Complete insanity.
