energyHR 1380, New Alternative Transportation to Give Americans Solutions (NAT GAS) Act provides a host of tax credits and subsidies to create incentive for vehicles fueled by natural gas. Some conservatives in congress support this bill. In the past, I may have been supportive as well. There is a conservative philosophical thread in the idea of tax credits to unshackle the burdens and create an incentive to use more natural gas and thereby reduce our dependency on foreign oil. However, this conservative thread could prove to be a Trojan horse which creates a host of unintended consequences.

EPA Public Hearing Atlanta, GA May 26, 2011 My name is Patti Gettinger, taxpayer. The locus swarm of EPA regulations is descending like a plague on our energy industry. These regulations will decimate our access to reliable and cost-efficient energy. They will create financial misery for citizens, particularly our most vulnerable. They will strip out thousands of jobs and wipe out business growth in a fragile economy. To promote this destruction in terms of health benefits that are dubious at best, and outright fabrication at worst, is an insult to the taxpayers who pay your salaries.
