Our industry is very engaged with elected officials at all levels of government, including our elected officials in Harrisburg to promote the increased use of this clean-burning resource. The Marcellus Shale Coalition supports the “Marcellus Works” legislation sponsored by State Representative Stan Saylor which is designed to further utilize natural gas as a transportation fuel. MSC President Kathryn Klaber issued this statement on the ongoing efforts of Rep. Stan Saylor.

Additionally, according to the Associated Press, natural gas is a “cheaper, cleaner-burning alternative to gasoline and diesel, drillers, public utilities and government officials are trying to boost demand for natural gas buses, taxis, shuttles, delivery trucks and heavy-duty work vehicles of all sorts.”
