"INFORM's groundbreaking examination of barriers to widespread use of natural gas vehicles is an invaluable tool for business leaders, government officials, & decision makers at every level. In a world where more than a half-billion vehicles spew pollutants from burning gasoline or diesel fuels, it is urgent that we put this tool to use without further delay."--John H. Adams, Natural Resources Defense Council. Natural gas vehicles: Who's designing them? Building refueling stations? Selling conversion kits? Setting emission standards? In our fight for clean air & secure national energy sources, government is calling for alternative transportation fuels. Natural gas--plentiful today in the U.S.--has many environmental, economic, safety, & energy security advantages. Here's a look at promising current efforts in research & development, infrastructure programs & government incentives to make cleaner air a reality through increased use of NGVs. "For the U.S. to compete in world markets, it must free itself from dependence on costly imported oil. Congress must commit to implementing 1990's Clean Air Act Amendments & 1992's Energy Policy Act to help the nation move to alternative fuels, thereby preserving the environment & human health. PAVING THE WAY can help remove the obstacles it has so clearly identified."--John B. Breaux, U.S. Senator, Louisiana.Cannon, James S. is the author of 'Paving the Way to Natural Gas Vehicles' with ISBN 9780918780591 and ISBN 0918780594.
