. Good news on the natural gas front

Thank you to Kathy Frazier, who works at the Arpin Group, for sending us this positive story on "America's natural gas highway" getting built out from coast-to-coast.  Switching vehicles over to natural gas--cars as well as trucks--helps in two ways; reducing imported oil and using domestic fuel; cleaning the air.

This is a very positive step, and works hand-in-hand with our use of bio-fuels, buying more energy efficient cars and, ultimately, buying EV's.  Our best wishes to Clean Energy as they build out our natural gas highway.

Here's the story:

We are building LNG truck fueling stations
coast-to-coast and border-to-border

Clean Energy is America’s connection to natural gas fueling — the largest provider of natural gas for transportation. Now we are building America’s Natural Gas Highway^TM with LNG truck fueling stations along major interstates to form the backbone of a national fueling infrastructure — enabling goods movement using natural gas fuel from coast-to-coast and border-to-border.

The first phase includes approximately 150 LNG truck fueling stations (plus CNG where needed). Approximately 70 are anticipated to be open in 33 states by the end of 2012 and the balance in 2013. Many will be co-located at Pilot-Flying J Travel Centers already serving goods movement trucking.

We believe the time is right for taking this action. Our nation needs to focus on reducing dependence on imported oil, and keeping our money and creating jobs here at home. We look forward to serving truckers and shippers onAmerica’s Natural Gas Highway^TM.
