Louisiana looks at developing natural gas vehicle industry

Published: Sunday, November 06, 2011, 8:00 AM

Hoping to take advantage of an abundant supply of shale gas, Louisiana officials and representatives of the natural gas industry have begun evaluating the potential for developing a compressed natural gas vehicle industry in the state. The group, led by Jimmy Field, the chairman of the Louisiana Public Service Commission, met for the first time last month at Louisiana State University.

Field described the half-day meeting, which came a day after LSU's Center for Energy Studies hosted its annual Energy Summit, as a chance to "pull together the policymakers so that they can ask their own questions and not be intimidated by anybody, and just give us the facts, so that we could see what could we do in Louisiana to move this industry forward."

Among those who attended the meeting were officials from America's Natural Gas Alliance, which represents natural gas exploration and production companies, as well as Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, Natural Resources Secretary Scott Angelle and Economic Development Secretary Stephen Moret.

Sounds like a good question for the "Real" CEO of GM...huh?

Louisiana seem to always be getting the shaft...

Stupidity Still Standing Strong!!! Sorry GHShalers, Electric isn't going anywhere for long-term. CNG will.
Can't hardly wait to see the Wal-Mart parking lot next year. LOL
Wal-Mart better start putting in some outdoor plug-ins. LOL And, a few "Finnish For Dummies" Books. You know...for the rush.
Uh-Oh...Hope the GM "Building Blockheads" aren't reading this. We really shouldn't be giving away more stupid ideas. They have enough of them! LOL

How long will a deal like this take to passed and be developed. And how would it effect the well head price for the land owners...

Just thinking.  The LSU Center for Energy Studies might want to invite Mr. J.T. Nesbitt of New Orleans, and have him show "them" his new CNG roadster, named the "Magnolia Special."  It's a beauty!  Hey, maybe Mr. Nesbitt and his Magnolia Special Team need to visit with the GM Buildingblockheads and talk about how one "actually" produces a great CNG roadster in Louisiana...   Naw, that makes tooooooo much sense for Louisiana...

Hey, maybe they can even invite LNR Sec. Scott Angelle and LED Sec. Stephen Moret, and who knows...

Or, better yet, fire Angelle and Moret...and hire Nesbitt and his Team!  

Come on folks, there are entrepenuers and investors out there who are changing the world on their own, and yet our LA Government Officials don't have a clue.   

Here you go LSU, LPSC Mr. Field, LA Rep. Mr. Cassidy, and LDNR Sec. Mr. Angelle, LED Sec. Mr. Moret...

GHShalers must spoon feed them like a bunch of babies.

Would this not be a good investment for Louisiana to make/draw in ?  The whole state could make all of the state truck/cars/buses etc. change to or buy new and save a ton of the state's budget not have to pay such high prices for gasoline.  They could re-fuel at night  or day when there shift was over so the line changes may not have to be made.  I f we are sitting on all of the natural gas why not make it benefit our state?

So where is Bobby, our Gov. on this? 

ESS,

Simple...He's out attempting to pursue a future "Presidential/Vice Presidential" run...  IMO, Louisiana is the only state where Jindal would stand a chance of finding a stepping stone from which he could launch a "figment of his imagination" national campaign attempt.  I had some hopes for Jindal in the beginning.  No longer.  IMO, he walks tens step forward for his own personal agenda...and ten steps back for Louisiana's best interests.  Where is Jindal on the S'port GM Plant 2012 Closing????  Again, not on his personal agenda ergo not in his plans, ergo that kind of concern for Louisiana won't get him to where "HE" thinks he's going. 

IMHO, only.

Great discussion GHShalers.  Maybe the State of Louisiana needs to invite Mr. Mauck and his GHShalers for a State Conference on "Louisiana's Commercial Nat Gas Goals."  Call it the L-CNGG Conference.    (Still spoon feeding here. LOL)
