 Clean Energy Fuels Corp. states it strongly supports the New Alternative Transportation to Give Americans Solutions (NAT GAS) Act introduced in Congress last week. Seeking to accelerate the production and use of natural gas-fueled vehicles, the bi-partisan-sponsored legislation would greatly enhance alternative fuel tax credits for natural gas used as a vehicle fuel, for the purchase of natural gas-fueled vehicles and for the installation of natural gas vehicle refueling properties. The bill would also encourage OEMs to produce dedicated natural gas and bi-fuel natural gas vehicles, and require federal government use of natural gas vehicles in a portion of its fleets. “Worldwide, natural gas vehicle use is expanding dramatically. Natural gas vehicle solutions are no longer in the proof of concept stage, but rather are being rapidly adopted by many countries seeking to reduce petroleum use and improve the environment,” says Andrew J. Littlefair, Clean Energy president and CEO. “The support by the federal government through this legislation can have a meaningful impact on how we as Americans manage our energy resources, swapping more expensive imported oil for less costly domestic natural gas -- an abundant, American transportation fuel.” For more information, visit www.cleanenergyfuels.com. | ||
