    The bike the Natgas horse is riding needs to be renamed to reflect the package of free ride advantages fossil fuels recieve, like “uncosted externalities”, or something more creative than that.

    Finrod – I have thought about that. I also thought about asking the artist to give the natural gas contestant a large head start and to put a manure bag on the back of the “clear nuke” horse. One of the reasons for posting is to obtain feedback and suggestions and then go back for another version.
