Alternative Fuel Advocates Push Senate to Include Unbiased AFV Incentives in Sen. Reid's 'Energy-lite' Package
July 27, 2010Senator Reid is on track to release the details of his new, pared-down energy plan today. In addition to some other energy-related provisions, the plan is expected to provide tax breaks for natural gas vehicles and infrastructure. But advocates of propane Autogas, an alternative vehicle fuel widely used by public and private vehicle fleets, are pushing the Senate to include Autogas along with natural gas in the vehicle and infrastructure incentive provisions. "The majority of propane Autogas is derived from the refining of natural gas," says Stuart Weidie, director of industry coalition Autogas for America. "Autogas has similar environmental benefits to natural gas and about 90% of it is produced here in America. There's no logical reason this bill should exclude propane Autogas but include natural gas." Full release.
