Obama stressed the importance of this fuel by saying: “We produce more natural gas than ever before,” and later added that “natural gas boom has led to cleaner power and greater energy independence” and that needs to be encouraged. The U.S. President believes that the country is finally poised to control its own energy future.
Through a press release published today on The Columbus Dispatch, NGVAmerica stated that natural gas vehicles can achieve President Obama’s goal of energy independence. “Through more research and development, natural gas vehicles will get even more efficient, more cost-effective and cleaner. However, we don’t have to wait for the results of new research and new technology. Efficient, cost-effective and clean natural gas vehicles are available today”, the president of the organization, Richard Kolodziej, commented on the President’s remarks.
Last year, President Obama had strongly supported NGVs and announced funding to promote natural gas for vehicles breakthroughs.
