Wisconsin CNG Initiative Meeting @ NC Tech Wausau

[rmay635703]

Figured this might interest some here, I won't be able to attend but hope my folks do, CNG is likely to remain less than Gas or Diesel for a long time and it is interesting that CNG is finally coming to most bigger Wisconsin cities, GB, Appleton, Wausau, & Stratford among a few others. I am very hopeful that the stations will be fully open to the public without strings.

Here is what I got (I cleaned up contact a bit so no spam makes it, you can easily find their respective websites if you need to)

I hadn't realized that semi-trucks are using CNG until they put a CNG filling station in about 4 miles from my house at one of the truck stops and the news paper mentioned that it could be a cheaper way to run a semi-truck, I would also think that it could be great for yard trucks (small semi-trucks used for moving trailers short distances) as they would otherwise be starting and stopping a lot.
