The transformation process does not occur without the use of energy by the process, so fuel is required to transform gas to liquid (NG to Diesel) then NG-Diesel reduces the amount of NG available for heating and electrical generation causing a rise in the price of NG, thus negating any economic advantage in using Natural Gas arbitrage re Oil. It may increase the amount of Diesel available but only at the cost of a reduction in the amount of Natural Gas available and it will not lower the cost of Diesel, it will in fact contribute to the complacency that assures peak oil will happen faster and without viable alternatives in place.

The economic shocks are already upon us, but they will grow ever more damaging as cheap supplies disappear and the USD drops in value resulting in ever increasing energy prices.

Diesel from Natgas is not a genie, it is a sign of desperation.

The same thing is happening within oil (its different “grades”). Diesel, the cheapest to make (its almost crude oil) is more expensive than gasoline (which takes much more refining, and is therefore more expensive to produce).
