30 January 2007

Washington state legislators are considering a “Clean Air, Clean Fuels” bill (HB #1303) that would provide funding to support a 25% cut in the petroleum use of the state's fleets via a range of initiatives including support for biodiesel and cellulosic ethanol, development of new technologies such as plug-in hybrids, and reducing fossil fuel consumption.

A hearing on the measure is scheduled for tomorrow in the state’s House Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources.
