North Carolina legislature moves to move the state's school buses off OPEC oil and onto domestic natural gas

Statement from T. Boone Pickens:

“America is waking up to the important role that our ever-expanding reserve use of domestic natural gas can do in transportation to solve the national security and economic crisis tied to our continued dependence on OPEC oil. The good news is that, while we wait for the federal government to demonstrate leadership on this issue, the states are moving. I commend Senate Pro Tem Phil Berger and other North Carolina legislative leadership on their aggressive move to move the state’s school buses off OPEC oil/diesel/gasoline and onto domestic natural gas. It’s model legislation, and I hope other states take note and follow North Carolina’s lead.”
