(I mean seriously who am I to call him wrong... the man's knowledge of the energy sector will run laps and laps and laps around mine :)) I just didn't want to neglect the longer-term trends getting started.

Boone is making a sales pitch that promotes his personal investments, but that does not mean he's completely wrong. Yes, PHEV and EV's are the future, but nat gas is a good short term solution for existing cars and cars already in the mfgr pipeline. Nat gas provides a transport fuel that keeps BILLIONS of dollars in our economy as we transition to electricity as the primary transport fuel. You cannot rapidly replace all cars on the road with PHEV's and EV's; you can't rapidly produce enough batteries to fill the demand pipeling for affordable long range ev's; for the balance of vehicles during transition -- nat gas is an excellent solution.
