The New Alternative Fuel: Natural Gas and Its Derivatives!

An awakening? Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf says natural gas (along with propane) is the new alternative fuel; the elixir for cleaning Pennsylvania’s air.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf issued a press release Monday to take credit for/crow about handing out another $1 million of taxpayer money. This time the money is part of the state’s Alternative Fuel Incentive Grants (AFIG) program—a program aimed at replacing gasoline and diesel fuel or at least replacing a little bit of it—a token gesture. The state issued grants totaling more than $1.1 million in their effort to replace fossil fuels as the fuel that powers vehicles.

And what “alternative” will replace those nasty fossil fuels? What clean-burning, good-for-the-environment option did Pennsylvania’s governor deign to fund for over $1 million?

Was the money used to purchase new electric charging stations for Chevy Volts, Nissan Leafs, and Teslas? Nope.

The superior option to replace those nasty fossil fuels is…other fossil fuels! The grants will buy buses that run on propane, and build compressed natural gas (CNG) refueling stations for vehicles that run on CNG. No electric outlets in sight.
