Westport Innovations Inc. (USA) (WPRT), General Electric Company (GE): Does Natural Gas Make Sense for Rail and Marine Engines?

Sandeep: Yeah, I believe until a point comes when there are enough refueling stations available, one probably would have to rely to a certain extent on ideas like home refueling, so they are important in a kind of a transition phase.

Again, the technologies exist. The question comes down to cost, and the cost, as more and more people adopt these technologies, continues to come down, so from a consumer point of view, this is happening.

Investment in, also, home refueling infrastructure is important until the point comes when a large number of stations are available. That would be the way to go.
