Supporting Alternative Fuel Options

May 13, 2011

Dear Friends,

As the price of gas continues to soar at the pump, I have heard from many families and businesses that are feeling the pinch of high gasoline prices. While travelling home virtually every weekend to meet with constituents all over Southeastern North Carolina, I see the cost of gas rising. The increase in gas prices makes it difficult for working families to get back and forth to work, for businesses to keep their costs low, and for school districts to transport their students.

There are many ideas being discussed on how to address rising gas prices. We need to do all we can to promote alternative ways to fill up our vehicles. Promoting natural gas fueled vehicles is one such way to address rising prices at the pump.

Natural gas fueled vehicles help everybody --consumers pay less at the pump, our nation will become less dependent on foreign oil and we can create more jobs and a cleaner environment.

I recently cosponsored a bill that would pave the way for consumers to have the opportunity to change how they power their vehicles by encouraging private investment in natural gas refueling stations and by providing incentives for the production and purchase of natural gas vehicles.

The NAT GAS Act of 2011 includes an extension of the current tax credit on natural gas fuel, a new tax credit for production of natural gas vehicles and a tax credit for installing natural gas refueling stations. By promoting production and access to natural gas, the bill provides consumers with additional options for powering their vehicles, diversifies the country’s vehicle fleets, promotes job creation at home and reduces the nation’s dependence on foreign oil.
 

Sincerely,



U.S. Congressman Mike McIntyre
Representing the 7th District of North Carolina
