§13252 Replacement fuel supply and demand program

Summary

The Secretary must create a program to promote making and using domestic replacement fuels in light-duty vehicles. The program must push to replace petroleum fuels as much as possible and, when possible, make the fuels available that best cut oil imports, help the economy, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. By October 1, 1993, and working with the Administrator, the Secretaries of Transportation, Agriculture, Commerce, and other agencies, the Secretary must review the facts and: estimate how much replacement fuel and alternative-fuel vehicle production is available at home and abroad; check if it is technically and economically possible to replace, on an energy-equal basis, at least 10 percent by 2000 and at least 30 percent by 2010; find the best ways to grow production, distribution, and use; identify how to build reliable U.S. industries and the barriers to doing so; and estimate how much greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced.
