It's not some oil lobby preventing anyone from using cleaner energy sources.
You're talking natural gas?

If you think demand growth has been slow for natural gas then I would suggest you review the data. Natural gas demand growth has been in the order of 20% per annum in China over the past ten years.

And yes natural gas trades for about 1/10th the cost per GJ as diesel right now. That WILL move to equillibrium over the next ten years especially in heavy duty freight.
