It IS the power source of choice for the near future and OKC could own that concentration with the companies that are already operating here. It is also time to put an end to those types who think if everyone does not jump through a hoop for a company--it will just move--or not come here. If you don't want to be here...take your pencils and GTFO! No company ever went anywhere out of the 'kindness' of their heart. OKC is a mid-sized city with a lot going for it. Now is the time. The iron is hot.
just a side note, all taxis and transit busses (most every city) in China use CNG. ... In fact, China is a LONG way ahead of USA when it comes to renewable energy. .....
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
