THE TIME IS NOW

For nearly half a century, transportation has accounted for about one-fourth of total U.S. energy use and two-thirds of total oil consumption.

The Time to is NOW! Natural gas vehicles, hybrids, electric, plug in electric, flex fuels and other choices are out there, sometimes for no cost difference to you. The fuels are available too. Ethanol, as E85, and Biodiesel in blends of 10% to 20%, are now at stations all over Colorado.

U.S. EPA Awards $5.6 Million for Clean Diesel Technologies

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently awarded $5.6 million in clean energy emerging technology projects that encourage environmental innovation and green jobs to reduce diesel pollution.

Among the recipients were the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department, which received $731,000 for a hybrid crane with a small diesel generator and battery to use at ports, and the University of Houston, which received $1 million for nitrogen oxide reducing technologies in school buses.

This summer, the EPA will award a total of $120 million under the diesel emissions reduction program.
