Georgia’s Foray into Alternative Fuels
Posted on June 5th, 2011 by admin
There are many reasons to own an alternative fuel vehicle, particularly in Georgia. Not only does the state government recognize and support people who care about the environment but they sometimes even offer tax incentives, too! In the state of GA, vehicle owners are eligible for up to 10 of the value of their purchase of an AFV back which goes a long way to making them more affordable.
Everyone from bakers to alarm system dealers in georgia have started looking into using E85 (Ethanol) to power their vehicles and professional machinery. Not only does this fuel save precious natural resources for future generations, it can end up costing business owners less over time. Much in the same way energy efficient appliances took off when everyone realized they actually saved money, E85 is on its way up.
Georgia Power, one of the state’s largest power suppliers, has been doing its part to pump up alternative energy. For example, the conglomerate recently acquired more the 500 electric vehicles to use for services house calls. Additionally, GA Power is investing millions in testing and utilizing biodiesel and ethanol fuels. Keep it up, Georgia!
