Natural Gas Vehicles Are Good for the Environment,

the Economy, and National Security

Western Energy Alliance supports implementing policies to encourage the use of natural gas as a transportation fuel would also reduce greenhouse emissions and reduce our dependence on foreign oil imports.

Support for NGVs is Growing…

The Western Governor’s Association (WGA) supports incentives for the use and development of natural gas vehicles (NGVs) and NGV infrastructure in legislation to be considered by Congress. In a letter to Congressional leadership, WGA stated:

“The use of natural gas as a transportation fuel is a domestic solution to a variety of critical issues… Additionally, natural gas is a cleaner, more affordable fuel for Americans. Natural gas produces approximately 25 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions and significantly fewer criteria air pollutants, and fueling NGVs costs a third less than traditional gasoline. Incentivizing the further build-out of NGV technologies will stop billions of dollars in overseas oil payments, create thousands of jobs, reduce harmful greenhouse gas and criteria air pollutant emissions, and improve the overall health of the United States’ economy.” (Click here to read the letter.)
