Final action was taken this week on Senate Bill 255 (Tomlinson-R-Bucks) making changes to the Alternative Fuels Incentive Program to include stationary power projects. The bill also authorizes a one-time $10 million transfer to the Energy Development Authority that was included in this year’s budget.

The House unanimously passed House Resolution 925 (G.Armstrong-R-Lancaster) designating November 17, 2004 “Alternative Fuels and Renewable Energies Day” recognizing Pennsylvania’s socially responsible corporate businesses, entrepreneurs and citizens are setting a trend for new economic development in the alternative fuels and renewable energies industries, including agriculture, stationary energy products, fleet transportation, renewable waste energy products, alternative fuel developments, and forest energy products.

"These industries are integrating environmental, socially responsible values into today’s society, and for that, I am proud to recognize and support their efforts," Rep. Armstrong said.
