NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 2018--
Today the National Gas Parity Act of 2018 (H.R. 5959) was introduced in
the U.S. House of Representatives by Reps. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) and
John Larson (D-CT). The legislation provides for a number of incentives
and changes to existing laws to encourage the sale, purchase, and use of
natural gas as a transportation fuel.
The following is a statement by Andrew J. Littlefair, president and CEO
of Clean Energy Fuels Corp.:
“There has never been a better time for Congress to support the adoption
of natural gas vehicles (NVGs) as a proven transportation model, one
that has already been successfully adopted by municipalities across the
U.S. Whether transferring
goods,transporting
passengers,picking
up trash, or shuttling
airport passengers, natural gas vehicles are helping to move
America with a cleaner fuel. It’s important that Congress provide
incentives for the utilization of domestically-available energy
sources—including the use of natural gas in Federal government
fleets—and provide funding for natural gas research to accelerate
the advancement of natural gas engines and vehicles.
I applaud the leadership of Congressmen Mullin and Larson and the
bi-partisan way in which this legislation was introduced and highly
encourage the passage of the National Gas Parity Act in both Houses.”
