However, that kind of growth could come to an end should two important federal programs stop providing some crucial financing.

Pickens’ ability to grab attention for natural gas is much envied by its underdog rival, propane autogas. The flamboyant oil man has invested millions in his push to fuel cars with natural gas and is trailed by cameras and microphones during his frequent visits to Capitol Hill. Boone Pickens has made himself the face of the natural gas industry. However, there is another fuel used to run cars that is getting a little less airtime in the United States.
