$300 million in clean cities grants to support clean fuels, vehicles, and infrastructure development

摘要

According to U.S. DOE Secretary Steven Chu the agency has collected 25 cost-share projects under the Clean Cities program that will be funded with nearly $300 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Chu says, "These projects will speed the transformation of the nation's vehicle fleet, putting more than 9,000 alternative fuel and energy efficient vehicles on the road, and establishing 542 refueling locations across the country. The DOE also estimates they will help displace approximately 38 million gallons of petroleum per year."
