The purpose of this bill is to ensure that state government exercises leadership in the reduction of petroleum based fuel consumption through improvements in fleet fuel efficiency and the use of alternative fuel vehicles and alternative fuels. Reduced petroleum use and the displacement of petroleum by alternative fuels will help promote markets for more alternative fuel and fuel efficient vehicles, encourage new technologies, enhance West Virginia's energy self-sufficiency and security, and ensure a healthier environment. The bill provides preferences for providers of alternative fuel capable vehicles and combustion powered machines, and providers of fuels that contain not less than twenty percent alternative fuels. The bill also requires certification of the plans to reduce fuel consumption for state-owned vehicles to eighty percent of their two thousand six level by two thousand eleven and for state subdivisions to eighty percent of their two thousand nine levels by two thousand fourteen.
