Diesel in France

The people in France are upset with the government plan to raise taxes on diesel. France wants to move away from fossil fuels and it makes sense for them to go to electric cars since 75% of their electric power comes from nuclear plants. The USA produces 62% of it's electric power from coal and natural gas so it would be wise to move the transportation industry over to natural gas. Unlike electric transportation, natural gas can be used for all cars, trucks, locomotives, ships and airplanes. The US leads all countries in the reduction of CO2 and that was just by replacing coal power plants with natural gas and that much more improvement could be made by switching transportation over to natural gas.
