The Phill Natural Gas Home Refueling Unit
T. Boone Pickens is tirelessly stumping for the United States to promote natural gas as an alternate to the billions of barrels of oil that we import and we support him wholeheartedly. Congress needs to get behind this endeavor and help the US expand its natural gas infrastructure, as well as encourage automakers to provide the vehicles. There are Chevy Cavaliers on the road that can run on both natural gas and regular gasoline, but you can't buy one in the showrooms. We need alternate energy choices for our vehicles sooner rather than later. Natural gas is an excellent choice for the near term future.
This is an excerpt from the recent Picken's Plan e-mail:
Last week the Western Governors' Association (WGA)—a non-partisan organization of 22 governors representing 19 U.S. states and 3 U.S. Territories—called upon Congress to make it a priority to pass legislation that would include incentives for the development and use of natural gas vehicles (NGVs) and NGV infrastructure. | ||
| “In addition to providing critical support for job growth in America, further development of NGVs and NGV infrastructure will help reduce our national trade deficit and dependence on oil from unstable and unfriendly regimes. Like members of Congress, we are concerned about how the staggering trade deficits impact America’s economic growth and prosperity, and a large portion of our nation’s trade deficit is attributable directly to the importation of oil. Every day the United States spends billions of dollars overseas in the form of oil payments that could be spent here, in America, employing our citizens and boosting the health of our economy. America's continued dependence on foreign oil represents a clear threat to our economic health and security.” | ||
I couldn’t agree more. We need to act now. | ||
