The book is also an ideal introduction to this topic for legislators, administrators, educators, and anyone interested in learning more about alternate fuels. Readers will gain a solid understanding of the fundamentals of alternative fuels and the factors that need to be considered when evaluating their use. No prior knowledge of alternative fuels is necessary. Alternative Fuels: Emissions, Economics, and Performance contains basic information on the various alternative fuels and objective data on the costs of converting, fueling, and operating alternatively-fueled vehicles. Fuel cost, performance, reliability, and availability are addressed. The book also discusses the impact that the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act and the 1992 Comprehensive National Energy Policy Act could have on the use of alternative fuels. A summary of Texas` state law, considered to be representative of state legislation on alternative fuels, and a glossary of key terms, are also included."
