So, IMHO, natural gas is good for smaller applications (probably under 250Kw), in areas where the gas is stable so you don't have to do on site storage. Otherwise Diesel is probably cheaper (both in genset cost and fuel cost), and easier to obtain.
this is the gist of what i learned a couple of years back. when i asked the PE at the vendor (a Cat reseller) about gas vs. diesel, he showed me that for the size generator we were looking at, diesel was a much better bet on the economics alone. richard -- Richard Welty rwelty@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking 518-573-7592 Unix, Linux, IP Network Engineering, Security
