Somebody explain to me why natural gas never took off as a means to power our national automobile
Does anyone else remember when GWB suggested Hydrogen powered cars, and he essentially got laughed off the stage?

Distribution network and refueling stations. Unlike EV charging stations, natural gas stations were not going to receive massive subsidies.

Largely the same reason as hydrogen - energy density. Natural gas is fantastic if you are pulling it directly out of a pipeline, where storage volume isn’t really a concern. It’s less fantastic if you need to put it in a portable tank to power a vehicle.
LNG has a higher energy density than hydrogen but still lower than gasoline, with the added complication of needing to keep it at -160 degrees C.
