Our national energy policy is akin to a tug of war between national security concerns, environmental issues, and determining what's needed to keep our domestic economy humming. Energy itself usually plays a subordinate role in the discussion; the more pressing issues take precedence and we work our energy policy around them.
That's created a number of stopgap measures, some of which are driven by the market and some are driven by government intervention. Where the government hasn't intervened, at least on a national level, is in maximizing how we use our massive natural gas resources. One state is tired of waiting for direction from above and has decided to take matters in its own hands.
Currently, there are eight natural gas vehicle bills making their way through the Pennsylvania legislature. These bills range in content from tax credits to proposals to move funds from one program to another, all designed to spur the use of natural gas as a transportation fuel. Considering that Pennsylvania is sitting on one of the largest natural gas deposits in the world, it makes sense for the state to do something to increase its own use of that resource.
