Natural Gas Hybrid Vehicles

This past Friday, November 7, I had the opportunity to attend the Public Administration Conference held at the School of Government. One of our presenters represented the American Public Gas Association. During his presentation, I was fortunate enough to learn about the amount of natural gas reserves in and around the United States, as well as methane hydrates, or frozen methane.

Although not the main point of the presentation, our presenter stated that he viewed natural gas the bridge between fossil and renewable fuels. I don't know if I am comfortable with that statement, but as the United States begins formulating a new and long-term energy policy (I assume), I am interested to see what other experts and individuals think are the bridges to renewable energy sources, and just how long of a bridge will we build out of present fossil fuels.

I have included links to an article on methane hydrates, the American Public Gas Association, and the Public Administration Conference. I would enjoy any feedback or discussion on this topic.
