Clean Energy Commends Senators Kerry and Lieberman for Newly Introduced American Power Act

( BW)(CA-CLEAN-ENERGY-FUELS)(CLNE.NASDAQ) Clean Energy Commends Senators Kerry and Lieberman for Newly Introduced American Power Act that Would Expand Tax Incentives for Natural Gas Vehicle Fleets

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE) has announced its support for the American Power Act introduced today by U.S. Senators John Kerry and Joseph Lieberman. A major provision of the proposed legislation would double the current federal tax credits that are available for the purchase of natural gas-powered fleet vehicles for the next 10 years.

Eligible natural gas vehicle (NGV) categories include heavy-duty trucks as well as certain fleets of shuttle vans. In addition, a provision in the pending legislation would enable municipalities to take advantage of the tax credits for their fleets.

“Natural gas transportation fuel is a cleaner, cheaper, and domestic alternative to our ever-increasing dependence on foreign, particularly OPEC, oil. We applaud Senators Kerry and Lieberman for their efforts to move forward with a broad energy package that includes replacing imported petroleum products with natural gas in America’s vehicle fleets,” said Andrew Littlefair, Clean Energy President and CEO.

“The introduction of this bill, particularly the tax incentives specified for natural gas vehicles, is a highly meaningful step in national efforts to help ensure U.S. energy security and preserve environmental quality,” Littlefair added.

Natural gas vehicle deployment is on the rise nationwide, and is already contributing to petroleum reduction and environmental cleanup goals.
