America on the Bottle • U.S. consumes 25% of the world’s petroleum • By 2020, the IEA predicts oil consumption will increase 60% • To keep pace with demand, OPEC must add 64 million barrels of production per day for the next 22 years: • This growth will require $350 billion per year on new projects. • OPEC only spent $390 billion on new projects from 2000-2007.
MOU signed by Multiple Governors • Governors sign “Memorandum of Understanding” on November 9, 2011 to convert their states’ transportation fleets to CNG. • Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Utah, Maine, New Mexico • Goal is to create a critical mass of fleet vehicle purchases to entice auto makers to manufacture more affordable NGVs. • Total fleet between states of more than 30,000 vehicles • Continued efforts will be made to bring other Governors into the MOU
