Clean Energy Commends Senator McCain's Pledge to Promote Natural Gas Vehicles

SEAL BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Senator John McCain yesterday pledged in Santa Barbara, California to promote the use of alternative fuel vehicles, as reported in the Washington Post.

"Every year, the federal government buys upwards of 60,000 cars and other vehicles, not including military or law enforcement vehicles," McCain said as he campaigned with California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a prominent GOP environmentalist. "From now on, we're going to make those civilian vehicles flex-fuel capable, plug-in hybrid, or cars fueled by clean natural gas."

"We commend the Senator's ambitious plan for federal government vehicles as it will dramatically improve the country's air quality and will reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Natural gas as a vehicle fuel is cleaner and cheaper than gasoline and diesel fuel, and natural gas is primarily produced in North America," said Andrew J. Littlefair, President and CEO, Clean Energy Fuels (Nasdaq:CLNE).

The Post also noted that Julia Bovey, spokeswoman for the Natural Resources Defense Council, said municipal governments have made similar changes and cut back on their energy use as a result. "We have seen cities and towns across America make a point to start buying efficient cars and trucks, and it can really make a difference. There's no reason the federal government should continue to buy dinosaurs."
