Congressman John Larson, D-CT, has renewed his push for more natural gas-powered vehicles in the country, hoping to solve high gasoline prices.
Larson will reintroduce his New Alternative Transportation to Give American Solutions Act, providing incentives for manufacturers to provide for natural gas powered cars.
The bill failed to reach the House of Representatives floor for a vote in the 2010 Congress, despite having 146 co-sponsors.
“Natural gas is affordable, abundant and American,” Larson said in a press release. “It costs one-third less to fill up a vehicle with natural gas than traditional gasoline and, maybe more importantly, we have enough natural gas in the US to meet our energy needs for the next 100 years.”
