Spotlight on Project Partners

Kathy Boyer here, Program Manager for the Blue Skies Grant. It's quarter report time again, which puts us all in paperwork mode. But it also gives me the opportunity to brag on our Blue Skies project partners!

Last quarter we really ramped up our work. Projects got off the ground, proposals went in, environmental questionnaires got approved, and most importantly, people were able to go do the good work of reducing our dependence on foreign oil.

The whole point of this effort is to improve our quality of life, and I think the Federal Government has made a wise investment in green technology to help us do that. Yes, it's not a perfect system. Yes, it's been a learning curve for everyone. But the bottom line is, we've got more propane & natural gas, more biofuels, more electric vehicles...in short, more "non-foreign" sources of fuel out there in public and private fleets alike.

So here's a special shout-out to all our Blue Skies partners. You guys are the best.
