I live where natural gas is
I live where natural gas is abundant. We use it to heat our homes, it provides our electricity (and that of much of the neighboring state), and it heats our water. Among other things. Wind is also abundant here and most of us use it to our advantage when we can, though the 1.5GW of wind power commercially produced here is all sold (every electron) to California by way of Colorado rather than used here.
I've heard that Ford will likely be making their consumer version (mini van-ized) of the Transit Connect available in CNG (as it is commercially), so that may be another option soon.
