President Obama Proposes Tax Credit For Natural Gas Trucks

摘要

At a campaign stop at a UPS natural gas refueling facility in Las Vegas, President Barack Obama stated that he favored issuing tax breaks to companies to switch their fleets from diesel or gasoline to natural gas. The president’s proposal would provide companies making such a conversion with a tax credit covering approximately 50% of the costs involved. “[Natural gas can] power our cars and our homes and our factories in a cleaner and cheaper way,” Obama said. “We, it turns out, are the Saudi Arabia of natural gas. We’ve got a lot of it.”
