NEW ORLEANS — The United States has record supplies of natural gas and plenty of reasons to promote natural-gas-powered cars, but consumers, manufacturers and fuel suppliers haven’t shown much interest.
Now, a major natural-gas developer’s plans to vastly increase the number of truck stops that offer liquid natural gas could help boost its use in the over-the-road vehicles that burn the most fuel, while promoting its availability to a wider market.
The T. Boone Pickens-backed Clean Energy Fuels Corp. is embarking on a major expansion of natural-gas fueling and plans to add liquefied natural-gas pumps at 150 truck stops nationwide over the next 24 to 36 months.
