ALTERNATIVE FUEL * USA - Thumb district looking at propane power for buses
Pigeon,Mich,USA -Associated Press/The Chicago Tribune -January 25, 2009: -- Officials say propane could be a cleaner and more economical alternative to diesel for Laker School District buses. Student services director Kathy Dickens says the district in Michigan's Thumb region hopes to use a federal grant to buy at least one propane-powered bus, which emit about 90 percent less soot than modern diesel engines... Chuck Burch of Cardinal Bus Sales in Lima, Ohio, says Laker Schools also could take advantage of a federal program giving refunds of 50 cents per gallon to districts that use propane. He says propane costs 70 cents a gallon including the refund... Burch is bringing one of the buses to Pigeon on Feb. 4 to discuss propane power with school officials from Huron, Tuscola and Sanilac counties. ..
