T. Boone Pickens presented the subsequent statement of back up for H.R. 1835, the New Alternative Transportation to Give Americans Solutions (NAT GAS) Act. This Act was presented today by Congressmen Dan Boren, John Larson, and John Sullivan.
T. Boone Pickens says that “I applaud Congressmen Boren, Larson, and Sullivan for introducing the NAT GAS Act today. In doing so, they’re showing that a bi-partisan approach to energy policy is not only possible, but do-able.”
The NAT GAS Act will offer the instant inducements and long-term constancy for companies to severely move from imported diesel and gasoline to domestic natural gas. Last month, AT&T declared that it would replace 8,000 vehicles—or one fifth of its fleet to make it run on natural gas. This legislation will inspire many others including major corporations and municipalities to follow suit.
