Utah is joining a multi-state initiative intended to encourage the production of more vehicles fueled by natural gas. Gov. Gary Herbert says the state will be part of a joint request for proposals to purchase natural gas vehicles for the state fleet. Herbert says working with other states gives more leverage to the push for the expanded use of natural gas vehicles. The governors of Colorado, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Wyoming signed the agreement last week. Through the initiative, the five states would each decide how many natural gas vehicles to commit to buy. The request would specify that the ultimate cost of the vehicles should be comparable to gasoline-powered vehicles.
