A
Forty
percent
is
going
to
be
from
solar,
which
is
on
the
roof
right
here
behind
me.
You
probably
can't
see
it
unless
your
order,
mile
down
the
road
and
another
sixty
percent,
is
going
to
be
produced
by
a
micro,
combined
heating
and
power
unit,
which
I
hope
everyone
has
a
chance
to
look
at
on
the
loading
dock
out
there
and
combine
those
two
pieces
of
equipment
reduce
emissions
versus
a
traditional,
centralized
power
system
by
sixty-eight
percent.
A
But
we'll
we'll
go
into
a
little
bit
more
of
that
later
and
I'd
like
to
start
by
asking
Robin
Ramsay
to
come
up
and
she's
representing
senator
burr
who's,
been
our
US
senator
from
North
Carolina.
Since
nineteen
excuse
me
2005
and
he
is
a
ranking
member
of
the
Senate
Veteran
Affairs
Committee,
he
sits
on
the
health,
education,
labor
and
pension
committee
and
the
Intelligence
Committee,
as
well
as
the
Senate
Finance
Committee.
So
we're
really
pleased
to
have
Robin
here
today.
B
Good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
having
me
here
today
is
with
great
pride
that
I
stand
here
on
behalf
of
Senator
Richard
burr,
to
congratulate
blossoming
on
such
a
significant
accomplishment.
The
investments
that
you
continue
to
continue
to
make
in
our
state
and
the
work
you
do
here
at
the
Auto
gas
research
and
Technology
Center
is
pretty
remarkable
and
I
know
the
senator
looks
forward
to
coming
and
visiting
very
soon.
You
all
are
doing
some
amazing
things
here
in
North
Carolina
for
the
industry
and
for
your
customers.
B
I
wish
I
could
say
the
same
for
the
folks
in
DC,
it's
a
difficult
to
hunt,
but
it's
a
difficult
time
to
get
much
of
anything
done
and
without
getting
political
I
just
wanted
to
share
a
few
efforts
that
senator
burr
is
working
on.
That
will
hopefully
have
an
impact
on
what
you
do
here.
You
might
know
that
some
of
the
tax
incentives
that
have
been
in
place
recently
expired
and
Congress
is
working
on
extending
some
of
those
incentives.
B
Senator
byrd
knows
how
crucial
it
is
to
extend
credits
for
alternative
fuel
and
fuel
mixtures
and
the
alternative
fuel
vehicle
refueling
property
credit.
If
we
as
a
nation,
want
to
move
away
from
our
reliance
on
foreign
oil
and
more
towards
domestically
abundant
propane
and
natural
gas,
then
Congress
needs
to
lead
on
many
of
these
issues.
In
one
way
we
can
show
leadership
is
by
having
some
stability
in
our
tax
code
waiting
until
the
last
minute,
or
in
this
year's
case,
perhaps
a
lame
duck
session
of
Congress
is
no
way
to
extend
a
tax
policy.
B
That's
the
message
that
he
has
for
many
of
his
colleagues
in
the
Senate
and
he
is
working
towards
this
goal
through
his
role
in
the
Senate
Finance
Committee.
Furthermore,
for
two
years
now
he
has
been
working
on
achieving
market
parity
for
natural
gas
and
propane
when
compared
with
diesel.
His
bill,
Senate
1103,
would
lies
the
excise
tax
between
liquefied
natural
gas
and
diesel
on
a
per
gallon
energy
equivalent
basis.
He
worked
to
get.
B
He
were
to
get
this
bill
and
the
same
treatment
for
propane
included
into
the
Senate
tax
extenders
bill,
known
as
the
expired
at
which
Congress
is
expected
to
take
up
after
the
election.
So
that's
just
a
snapshot
of
how
senator
burr
is
trying
to
help
the
industry
in
DC,
as
I
mentioned,
he'd,
prefer
to
see
many
of
these
policies
folded
into
a
longer-term
tax
policy,
so
that
industry
and
businesses
can
plan
more
efficiently.
B
A
Thank
You
Robin
I've
neglected
to
recognize
a
few
people
that
are
here
in
attendance
and
there
are
lots
of
folks
from
all
over
that
have
been
important
to
us,
but
Nathan
Ramsey.
Our
current
state
representative
is
in
the
back
there.
We
have
David,
King
or
one
of
our
county
commissioners
in
attendance
with
us
today.
Thank
you
for
coming
and
we
also
I'd
like
to
recognize
John
Jessup
with
our
North
Carolina
propane
Association.
That's
right
up
here
as
a
good
job,
great
job.
A
So
next
we
have
the
mayor,
Esther
manheimer,
and
she
was
first
elected
to
the
City
Council
in
2009
and
became
mayor
in
2013.
She
currently
serves
on
the
regional
metropolitan
sewerage
district
board
of
directors
to
hub
Community,
Economic,
Development,
Alliance,
the
land
of
sky,
reasonable
Regional,
Council
and
probably
a
half
a
dozen
more
that
we
met.
We
don't
want
to
cut
it
short,
but
they're.
Quite
a
few
other
organizations.
Esther
is
also
a
partner
in
the
van
wyck.
C
C
The
city
of
Asheville
is
proud
to
be
selected
as
a
location
for
blossom
ins
services,
new
gas,
auto
gas
research
and
Technology
Center.
The
center
is
a
great
example
of
the
innovative
companies
locating
now
here
in
Asheville,
and
the
work
conducted
at
this
new
center
will
improve
upon
and
expand
innovative
technologies
that
will
lead
the
way
in
creating
green
and
clean
burning.
Alternative
fuel
Asheville
is
the
perfect
location
for
the
center
because
of
our
community's
commitment
to
sustainability.
C
Sustainable
practices
have
become
a
way
of
life
in
Asheville
form
our
local
food
movement,
farmers,
market
citizens,
commitment
to
recycling,
and,
to
this
end,
the
city's
commitment
to
reducing
our
carbon
footprint,
our
city
government
strives
to
incorporate
sustainable
policies
into
every
action
we
undertake.
In
fact,
we
have
made
a
commitment
to
reduce
our
carbon
footprint
by
eighty
percent
of
the
year
2030.
C
Many
of
the
services
the
city
provides
are
directly
linked
to
the
consequences
of
the
energy
that
fuels
them
because
of
the
city's
strong
desire
to
address
these
topics
and
challenges.
The
City
Council
includes
sustainability
policies
and
goals
as
a
part
of
our
annual
strategic
plan,
and
you
can
see
examples
all
around
the
city.
This
new
center
will
become
part
of
Asheville's,
already
strong
network
of
partners
working
toward
a
more
sustainable
future.
The
center
will
provide
more
opportunity
for
partnership
and
collaboration.
C
Work
at
this
new
center
will
create
a
new
alternative
fuel
systems
through
there
in
development
program,
provide
a
location
where
service
technicians
and
managers
can
come
from
across
the
u.s.
for
training
and
education
programs
designed
to
ensure
the
proper
installation
and
servicing
of
these
engine
systems
and
focus
on
the
development
of
alternative
fuels,
engines,
fueled
engines
of
all
kinds,
but
I
stopped
to
pause
really
quickly
and
say
that
this
is
so
exciting
and
a
lot
of
it
is
I'm
a
lawyer.
C
So
a
lot
of
it
is
new
for
me
to
learn
about,
but
very
very
much,
a
part
of
the
new
business
fabric
or
growing
business
fabric
of
Asheville.
We
really
think
that
one
of
the
center
focuses
for
Asheville
going
forward
will
be
in
the
clean
energy
technology
sector
and
that's
exciting
and
I
know
kick
Kramer
with
our
Chamber
of
Commerce's.
Here
today,
hopefully,
hopefully,
agreeing
kinda
she'd
agree,
I
just
going
to
say
this
example
over
here
is
a
waynesville
police
car.
C
I,
don't
know
if
that's
a
that's
a
hint
or
it's
my
understanding
that
this
Center
is
the
first
in
the
southeastern
United
States,
so
that
is
a
huge
win
for
Asheville
and
I'm
thrilled
that
you've
made
the
decision
to
be
part
of
this
community.
Fitting
right
in,
as
I've
already
said,
with
our
theme
here
in
Asheville
of
sustainability.
C
Even
the
building
itself
is
a
beacon
of
green
technology
producing
all
of
its
own
power
on
site,
as
we
already
heard,
and
that
that
is
an
encouraging
thing
to
see
that
that
sort
of
trend
growing
in
Asheville
we've
done
is
what
we
can't
green
our
city
building,
but
it
was
built
long
ago.
So
that's
been
challenging.
This
on-site
power
generation
I
understand
is
the
first
in
the
city.
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
with
you
today
to
celebrate
the
exciting
new
research
and
collaborations
this
Center
will
bring
to
Asheville.
A
We
have
a
long
relationship
with
Bill
and
I
can
say,
he's
been
instrumental
and
assisting
our
company
blossom
aghast
and
getting
to
this
point
through
his
efforts
in
our
community
in
this
region
were
really
appreciative
of
that
bill.
The
coalition
works
closely
with
the
US
Department
of
Energy's
Clean
Cities
program
and
other
partners
to
promote
the
use
of
alternative
fuel
and
advanced
technology
vehicles,
and
he
also
serves
as
a
coordinator
coordinator
of
the
regional
clean
air
campaign,
and
he
has
been
addressing
these
issues
and
many
other
environmental
issues
over
the
past
33
years.
Bill
Thank.
D
A
Stuart
said
I
serve
as
the
coordinator
of
the
actual
region's
Clean
Cities
coalition,
and
our
coalition
is
one
of
almost
a
hundred
coalition's
around
the
nation
working
with
the
US
Department
of
Energy
and
many
other
partners
in
the
public
and
private
sector
to
reduce
the
use
of
petroleum
and
to
help
get
our
nation
off
of
foreign
oil,
which
is
a
really
worthy
goal,
and
I'm
really
pleased
today.
Chuck
fine,
a
bird
with
the
New
Jersey's
coalition
he's
the
coordinator
is
here
also
Chuck
thanks
for
being
here.
D
Just
this
morning,
Chuck
and
I
heard
that
the
assistant
secretary
of
energy
announced
in
Washington
DC
that
last
year
in
2013,
the
Clean
Cities
coalition's
and
their
stakeholders
across
the
country
avoided
the
use
of
1
billion
gallons
of
petroleum
petroleum
in
a
single
year
for
the
first
time
ever
so
we're
making
a
lot
of
progress.
That's
a
great
achievement.
Also,
last
year,
the
program
reduced
seven
and
a
half
million
tons
of
greenhouse
gases,
which
is
the
equivalent
of
removing
more
than
one
and
half
million
cars
from
us
roads.
D
So
what
clean
cities
is
doing
is
shifting
transportation
away
from
petroleum
one
fleet,
one
community
and
one
vehicle
at
a
time,
and
that's
the
way
we
have
to
do
it.
We
establish
our
local
Clean
Cities
coalition.
In
2004,
we
started
the
process
to
get
the
designation
from
the
US
Department
of
Energy
in
2004
and
one
of
the
first
persons
that
our
coalition
worked
with
was
David
finder
David,
where
are
you
come
on?
Have
the
glasses
on
their
yard?
D
David
was
one
of
the
first
to
call
us
up
and
say
we
want
to
get
involved
in
this
effort.
This
is
very
worthy.
We
want
to
partner
with
you
so
we
add
our
kickoff
event:
downtown
Asheville.
We
David
brought
a
propane
school
bus
out
to
show
to
folks,
and
we
had
a
great
event
to
kick
off
our
ever
to
get
that
clean
cities,
designation
and
since
then,
we've
worked
with
Boston
and
alongside
a
gas
and
many
other
folks
to
do
a
lot
of
education
and
outreach.
We've
had
three
propane
roadshow
events.
D
So
just
some
examples
here
in
the
antral
area,
our
mountain
mobility
community
transportation
system
was
one
of
the
first
to
convert
very
successful
project.
Had
them
speak
at
some
of
these
events
and
they
were
very
convincing.
Also,
the
Buncombe
County
Sheriff's
Department
we
had
sheriff
and
Duncan
speed
at
one
of
our
road
shows
over
the
Biltmore
Estate.
He
was
very
impressed,
convinced
everyone
said
he
wanted
his
vehicle
converted.
Next,
he
was
so
happy
with
it:
Haywood
public
transit
system,
the
Biltmore
Estate,
the
town
of
waynesville,
just
converted
about
15
vehicles,
including
these
dodge
chargers.
D
Some
of
the
first
start
charges
in
the
country
to
be
converted
to
auto
gas,
they're
very
happy
with
that,
and
also
the
Blue
Ridge
Parkway,
and
we're
working
with
the
great
smoky
mountains
national
park
on
a
propane
project.
So
a
number
of
fleets
have
been
converting
here
in
the
area
and
there
will
be
many
more.
D
So
thanks
to
the
efforts
of
all
the
stakeholders
in
our
coalition
here
in
the
actual
area,
we
received
our
official
Clean
Cities
designation
from
the
department
of
energy
in
2012.
After
eight
years
of
working
towards
that,
and
then
last
year
in
2013,
our
stakeholders
collectively
displaced
almost
a
million
gallons
of
petroleum
through
the
use
of
all
the
alternative
fuels,
including
autocast,
so
we're
making
a
lot
of
progress
every
year,
we've
got
more
displacement
in
petroleum,
and
our
air
quality
is
improving,
not
only
reducing
the
greenhouse
gases,
but
also
the
criteria
pollutants.
D
20
years
ago
we
had
officials
from
the
Forest
Service
in
the
Park
Service
sound
the
alarm
that
our
area
had
very
significant
air
quality
problems
that
we
all
needed
to
start
working
on,
so
we
started
working
on
it.
This
program
has
been
a
part
of
that
cleaning
up
our
coal-fired
power
plants.
That's
been
part
of
it,
and
the
good
news
is-
and
you
always
have
good
news
in
the
environmental
arena-
is
that
air
quality
has
improved
significantly
over
the
last
two
years
and
we
were
meeting
all
the
state
and
federal
air
quality
standards
now.
D
So
we
should
be
very
proud
of
that.
So
I
just
wanted
to
be
here
today
to
thank
Boston
and
Alliance,
auto
gas
for
being
such
great
partners
and
our
effort
and
to
congratulate
you
on
the
opening
of
this
research
and
Technology
Center
and
in
this
Center
is
really
going
to
help
increase
the
use
of
auto
gas,
not
only
here
locally
but
across
the
entire
nation.
So
congratulations,
Stuart.
A
In
a
great
supporter
of
our
efforts
and
many
others
in
the
natural
gas
industry
in
this
region,
we
really
appreciate
everything
built
next
I'd
like
to
introduce
Roy
Willis
someone
I've
known
nearly
20
years.
Now,
it's
hard
to
believe
that
we'll
talk
about
that
Roy
but
Roy,
a
CEO
of
the
propane
Education
Research
Council,
which
is
our
primary
industry
group
that
investment
technology
brings
new
and
innovative
products
to
our
industry.
He's
got
within
40
years
of
experience
in
the
energy
sector,
including
senior
staff
positions
in
the
Louisiana
Legislature
and
and
the
US
House
of
Representatives.
A
E
E
Stewart
will
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
future,
at
least
that's
what
I
heard
him
say,
and
but
I
want
to
share
just
a
little
bit
of
history,
which
sort
of
put
some
context
around
this
event
here
today,
many
years
ago,
Stewart
back
before
thick
and
thin
served
as
our
chairman
of
the
perc
research
and
development,
Advisory
Committee
and
much
to
the
chagrin
of
many
of
his
industry.
Colleagues,
that
one
of
our
meetings
he
openly
proclaimed
that
future
demand
for
propane
was
more
likely
to
come
from
spark
plugs
rather
than
burner
tips.
E
That's
almost
heresy
in
our
industry,
but
he
didn't
stop
with
just
that
vision.
He
began
implementing
and
help
perk
build
a
portfolio
of
engine
based
vehicles,
equipment
in
appliances
today
that
literally
didn't
exist
a
decade
ago
and
would
not
have
existed,
but
for
the
leadership
that
Stuart
brought
to
our
industry.
So
I'm
not
surprised
that
here
close
to
where
he
lives.
He
would
build
this
technology
and
research
center
in
your
right.
E
We
now
have
the
number
one
selling
alternative
fuel
school
bus
in
the
country
manufactured
just
a
couple
of
states
south
of
here
runs
on
propane,
had
a
twelve
percent
market
share
of
new
bus
sales.
Last
year
alone,
the
other
two
major
manufacturers
seeing
that
success
or
entering
the
market,
this
cell
cycle,
so
propane,
is
tailor-made
for
school
bus
fleets,
but
it
doesn't
stop
there.
Justice
Stewart
mentioned
the
combined
heat
and
power
unit.
E
Propane
is
being
used
and
we've
got
test
sites
out
now
for
propane
powered
gas,
heat
pumps,
generators,
irrigation
engines,
a
host
of
other
equipment
that
is
powered
by
propane
engines.
So
he'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
future
and
I'll
listen
intently
to
what
he
has
to
say,
because
I
know
that
he
looked
into
a
crystal
ball
over
a
decade
ago
and
said
this
is
the
way
the
future
is
going
to
go
and
you
were
dead
right
brother.
So,
thank
you.
Stuart.
Good
luck.
A
It's
very
kind
Roy,
but,
as
you
know,
I'm
more
or
less
a
figurehead
and
I've
got
a
lot
of
smart
people
where
I
work
with.
So
that's
always
a
real
key
to
anything.
But
I
would
like
to
make
a
few
closing
comments,
but
before
I
do
that
I
have
some
people
that
I
would
like
to
thank
and
at
the
risk
of
leaving
out
many
many
folks
who
were
involved
in
this
project,
which
I
will
there
are
several
key
people
that
I
would
like
to
recognize.
Casey
Carmichael,
who
is
our
contractor?
A
It's
casey
here
from
heritage,
restoration
and
construction.
He
was
supposed
to
be
here,
I'm,
not
sure.
Maybe
he
was
so
relieved.
We
got
our
CEO
yesterday
that
he's
taken
a
vacation
somewhere
here.
The
other
person
that
I'd
like
to
recognize-
and
he
is
here-
Jeff
Dalton
from
row
house,
architects
he's
back
there
on
the
back
row.
A
It
was
a
very,
very
pleasurable
working
experience
with
Jeff
and
he
is
one
of
the
few
people
where
you
could
explain
something
in
simple
terms
and
a
concept,
and
he
would
come
back
with
the
remarkable
design
a
week
or
ten
days
later
and
the
third
person
that
would
like
to
recognize
in
there
and
maybe
I
should
have
done.
That
first
is
my
wife
and
he's
also
here
today.
A
And
she
was
a
person
that
Jeff
as
Jeff
mentioned,
she's
persistent
and
she
sticks
to
what
she
wants
to
do
and
I
think
that
it
produced
a
good
result
between
the
two
of
them.
Thanks
to
both
of
you,
I'd
also
like
to
thank
our
lovely
bosman
team.
They
really
exhibited
the
spirit
of
our
company
in
trying
to
put
together
in
a
very
short
time
frame.
A
What
you
see
here
today,
I,
don't
think
we're
done
it's
low
bear,
that's
not
all
bad,
sometimes
having
a
fresh
start
is
a
good
thing,
but
they
really
exhibited
the
spirit
that
our
folks,
throughout
our
company
in
the
12
states,
where
we
operate
their
75
locations,
exhibit
when
they're
serving
our
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
plus
customers,
so
I'd
like
to
say
David
life
and
Scott
Pruitt
and
all
the
folks
here.
Thank
you
for
that.
A
A
couple
of
weeks
ago,
well,
three
weeks
now,
I
was
down
in
Atlanta
and
I
was
in
a
taxi
ride
and
I'm,
not
sure
how
many
of
you
here
have
actually
taken
a
taxi
ride
in
Atlanta,
but
every
time
I
do
I,
learn
something
they're,
some
of
the
most
knowledgeable
entertaining
engaged
people
you
have
ever
seen
in
your
life.
They
can
talk
about
world
affairs
and
all
over.
A
But
anyway
this
gentleman
said
you
know
our
problem
in
this
country
and
the
rest
of
the
world
is
we
have
too
many
people
that
are
poor
in
the
mind
and
he
pointed
to
his
head.
He
said
we
can
fix
all
the
economic
problems
and
all
the
other
problems
if
we
have
them
rich.
In
the
mind
and
I
said
you
know,
I'm
sitting
there
thinking,
there
are
books
and
libraries
full
of
books
and
government
and
societal
systems
designed
over
centuries.
That
really
that
one
simple
frames
being
phrase
being
rich
in
the
mind
cover
a
lot.
A
So
I
said:
well,
that's
pretty
profound!
Maybe
it
didn't
hit
you
like
it
did
me,
but
our
company
at
blossoming
gas
is
really
blessed
with
many
people
rich
in
the
mind.
That's
what
makes
it
a
special
place
to
work
and
then
don't
let
me
get
started
on
blossom
because
we'll
all
be
here,
30
minutes
from
now
and
I
won't
be
halfway
through,
but
we
are
very
blessed
and
I'm
appreciative
of
that
from
jesse
johnson
who's,
one
of
the
most
creative
innovative
thinkers.
A
But
that
is
a
real
blessing
that
we
have
people
that
are
rich
in
the
mind,
and
we
also
have
many
vendors
and
suppliers
that
we
work
with,
who
also
share
that
creativity
and
the
desire
to
always
improve
things.
That's
what
produced
the
results,
that's,
what
perc
has
been
doing
with
a
great
number
of
companies
trying
to
spur
and
encourage
those
type
of
innovations,
and,
as
I
mentioned,
this
is
equipment
that
is
on
the
roof.
A
With
the
solar
panels,
I'd
like
to
thank
mb
haynes
for
their
work
on
that
and
the
yanmar
micro
combined
heating
and
power
unit.
They
have
those
emissions
reductions
of
sixty-eight
percent
in
North
Carolina.
Today
we're
expecting
to
only
save
about
a
thousand
dollars
to
break,
even
in
other
areas
where
electric
rates
are
much
higher,
we're
very
fortunate
with
our
electric
rates
here
in
North
Carolina.
A
It
not
only
has
those
emissions
reductions
but
you're
going
to
realize
cost
savings
with
this
equipment
and
five
and
ten
and
fifteen
years
down
the
road,
I
think
you're
going
to
see
on-site
power
more
prevalent
than
you
do
today.
I
only
hope
that
my
career
is
long
enough
to
see
it
become
the
primary
market
driver
of
energy
in
this
country,
so
we're
really
pleased
to
be
involved
in
that
project.
The
other
thing
is
our
vehicle
technology
center.
A
Here's
has
been
mentioned
currently,
blossoming
gas
has
over
450
vehicle
platforms,
mostly
focused
on
fleet
vehicles,
because
those
are
the
ones
that
are
driving
the
most
that
we
have
available
with
legal
epa
certified
conversion
systems.
What
this
facility
here
is
is
going
to
allow
us
to
do
and
Steven
Holland
our
lead
engineer,
who's
very
capable
gentleman
and
his
team
new
member
stacy
and
others
that
are
going
to
be
joining
them.
A
It's
going
to
allow
us
to
accelerate
the
number
of
systems
that
we
have
for
alternative
fuel
systems-
behaviors
not
just
in
the
propane
area,
but
we'll
also
be
doing
some
natural
gas
systems
when
and
where
it
makes
sense,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
really
pleased
about
and
to
announce,
I
guess
to
for
the
most
part,
is
last
month
in
September.
Losman
services
received
the
first
epa
certification
in
the
United
States
for
a
diesel
propane
blend
system
on
a
heavy-duty
engine,
which
is
a
Detroit
14
litre,
which
nobody
cares.
A
But
this
engine
eliminates
the
particulate
matter.
It
reduces
NOx
emissions
by
forty-eight
percent
and
has
many
other
benefits,
but
for
our
truckers
going
across
the
road,
it's
also
going
to
save
them
significant
on
the
fuel
that
they're
having
to
pay
and
our
transportation
sector
in
this
country
is
the
lifeblood
we
can't
we
can't
survive.
We
don't
have
food,
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
grow
all
our
food
locally.
I
think
it's
worthy
to
try,
but
we
have
to
move
food.
A
We
have
to
move
goods,
so
our
transportation
sector
is
critical
and
we
can
have
a
major
impact
by
putting
alternative
fuel
systems
that
reduce
emissions
and
save
costs
for
those
fleet
operators.
So
we're
really
pleased
to
been
the
first
in
the
United
States
and
we
have
two
more
engines
when
a
Volvo
and
another
a
cummins
isx
engine
that
are
in
development
right
now,
as
we
speak.
A
A
There's
a
lot
of
controversy
out
there
about
gas
fracking
and
we
understand
all
those
things,
but
we
are
under
the
radar
in
our
industry
because
we
have
a
fuel
that
Nate
worldwide
is
powering
23
million
vehicles
and
serves
over
eight
million
homes
for
heating
and
cooling
and
water
heating,
and
cooking,
not
the
cooling,
yet
we're
working
on
that
Roy,
but
and
I'm,
not
counting
grills,
that
run
on
propane.
But
this
is
a
important
fuel
to
this
country
anywhere
beyond
the
natural
gas
lines.
A
The
propane
is
an
efficient
fuel
and
we
really
feel
like
the
opportunities
exist
to
enhance
not
only
in
the
burner
tips
with
water
heaters.
I
might
keep
peacock
from
Renee
is
here
today
with
us.
We
appreciate
it,
but
tankless
water
heater
is
reduces
emissions
significantly
versus
electric
and
also
produces
cost
savings,
but
also,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
vehicles
now
there's
one
more
quick
briefing.
I
would
like
to
mention
it's
very
exciting
to
us.
We
are
currently
involved
in
a
project
in
Lamar,
County,
Georgia
and
I
bet.
A
A
This
project
is
scalable,
it
can
be
expanded.
I'd
love
to
see
our
Buncombe
County
landfill
look
at
this
over
the
next
couple
of
years,
because
it
is
taking
the
entire
waste
stream,
not
just
the
methane
gas
coming
off
of
the
landfill,
but
the
entire
waste
stream,
putting
into
what
I'll
just
call
the
magic
box
with
no
emissions,
there's
no
combustion
chemically
changing
it
and
producing
natural
gas.
On
the
back
side.
This
first
unit
is
going
to
be
up
and
operating
just
about
a
year.
A
From
now
and
200
tons
of
waste
on
an
annual
based
on
a
daily
basis
is
going
to
produce
around
2
million
gallons
of
auto
gas.
It
can
be
scaled
out
to
some
landfills,
take
as
much
as
5,000
tons
per
day,
but
it
can
be
done
locally.
It
can
be
produced
locally.
We
can
reduce
landfills
where
we
reduce
the
size
of
a
landfill,
we're
reducing
the
emissions
of
the
landfill.
It's
almost
too
good
to
be
true,
we'll
find
out
a
year
from
now.
A
It
is
if
it
is,
but
we're
really
excited
to
be
a
part
of
that
project
and
future
projects.
We
hope
all
over
the
country
and
perhaps
Europe
as
well,
that
will
have
this
one
hundred
percent
renewable
propane
that
can
we
can
put
into
the
transportation
sector.
So
that's
going
to
be
an
exciting
project.
It's
real
I've,
seen
it
work.
I
didn't
want
to
believe
it
I'm
still
trying
not
to
believe
it,
but
its
its
cost
feasible,
which
is
really
what
makes
us
unique
and
the
product
is
pure.
