CALGARY • Alberta’s premier says the province is looking at ways to boost the use of natural gas, including using it as a transportation fuel, at a time when dismal prices have been pinching producers as well as government coffers.
“This is part of the direction we need to go in, because the circumstances have changed to the point where these decisions, that can be made on behalf of government, start to make economic sense — for us and for industry,” Alison Redford told a conference on unconventional natural gas Tuesday.
Ms. Redford concedes there are barriers to the idea, including the great expense of building refuelling infrastructure and the high purchase price of vehicles that can run on natural gas.

Why not? Cheap enough, with huge reserves all over North America.
Cleaner than 'oil' too.
