The market will determine all of this.
Last year the US produced LESS CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS than it had for any year in the last twenty years. Put that in your pipe and smoke it if you're an environmentalist.
The reason is the widespread conversion from coal-fired powerplants to the use of gas, and this conversion process is only in it's infancy. Carbon emissions from automobiles was level also for the first time in decades.
Gas will certainly also come to power most or all of long-haul tractors because of the cost of gas versus diesel. What Boone does or doesn't do will have nothing to do with it.
