This year alone
millions of Californians will suffer from a variety of health
ailments because of increasing air pollution from vehicle
exhaust. But a solution to clean our air and make it easier to
breath already exists today.
More than five million
vehicles, such as Ford Tauruses, are already equipped with
engines that can run on an energy source called "flex
fuel" - fuel that is a combination of traditional gasoline
and biofuels like corn-based ethanol that cuts down on tailpipe
emissions, produces fewer greenhouse gases, and reduces the need
for imported oil.
So why can't
Californians driving these cars buy this cleaner fuel? Because only
one filling station in California sells ethanol fuel to the
public!
Tell oil
companies that it is time to offer flex fuels to California
consumers!
With California
vehicles burning through 15 billion gallons of gasoline last
year, a number that is expected to jump in the next 20 years,
more and more toxic emissions will be released into our
atmosphere. Having clean fuel technology could substantially cut
down on the amount of these emissions, and make our air safer to
breathe. And because flex fuel reduces the amount of gasoline
drivers use we could reduce our global warming emissions.
Until more gas
stations in California offer flex fuels, the air quality problems
caused by auto emissions will only get worse. It's time that oil
companies move in the right direction - tell them to sell flex
fuels in California.
Dear /Name/
Millions in California this year alone will suffer the health impacts of increasing air pollution from vehicle exhaust!
But one solution already exists. So why are you dragging your feet on offering "flex fuels" to California consumers?
It's time to offer flex fuel options in the Golden State.
With California vehicles burning through 15 billion gallons of gasoline last year, a number that is expected to jump in the next 20 years, more and more toxic emissions are released into our atmosphere. We could cut down substantially by using clean fuel technology like flex cars.
But with only one flex fuel station in all of California, who can drive one?
It's time to offer flex fuel pumps to California consumers!
Sincerely,
