NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Clean
Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE)
Board Member John
S. Herrington (former U.S. Secretary of Energy during the Reagan
Administration from 1985 to 1989), and CEO Andrew
J. Littlefair today gave their strong endorsement to former Texas
Gov. Rick Perry for nomination as the Secretary of Energy.
"It is critical that the country has a person who understands all
aspects of energy markets from oil and natural gas to wind, solar and
nuclear. Holding the Office of Governor of Texas for 14 years has given
Rick Perry a unique understanding into the challenges and opportunities
that the country has in achieving that so far elusive goal of becoming
energy independent. Rick fully appreciates the impact that energy has on
the U.S. and global economies and will make an excellent Secretary of
Energy."
--John S. Herrington, U.S. Secretary of Energy (1985-1989) and Clean
Energy Fuels Corp. Director
"I have known Governor Perry for many years and he is an excellent
choice for Secretary of Energy. His 14 years of leadership in Texas and
his knowledge of the energy industry will give us the right energy plan
to move our nation forward. Governor Perry was instrumental in driving
new energy technologies in Texas, including wind, solar and natural gas,
and I'm confident he will continue to push for comprehensive domestic
energy production."
--Andrew J. Littlefair, president and CEO, Clean Energy
Natural gas fuel costs less per gallon than gasoline or diesel,
depending on local market conditions. The use of natural gas fuel not
only reduces operating costs for vehicles, but also reduces
greenhouse gas emissions up to 30% in light-duty vehicles and 23% in
medium to heavy-duty vehicles. In addition, nearly all natural gas
consumed in North America is produced domestically.
