On his first day in office, President Trump signed a series of Executive Orders (EOs) that outline sweeping changes to U.S. energy and environmental policies. Among the most significant actions are directives that could reshape the future of clean transportation, electric vehicles (EVs), and infrastructure funding.
As the demand for energy continues to evolve, the U.S. faces a pivotal moment in its approach to power generation and sustainability. Although power demand has remained relatively stable over the past decade, projections indicate a significant increase on the horizon. This surge represents one of the most substantial challenges for the energy sector in decades. To navigate this change effectively, breakthrough technologies and innovative strategies are essential, particularly regarding natural gas and its role in achieving energy affordability and sustainability. In this article, we will explore the state of U.S. energy, advancements in renewable technologies, and how propane can play a crucial role in transitioning towards greener energy solutions.
Wilkes County Schools (WCS) has marked the historic milestone of becoming the first school district in Georgia to serve all of its 25 daily bus routes exclusively with zero- and ultra-low-emission school buses. The new fleet of electric and propane-powered buses eliminates regular diesel bus routes, significantly improving air quality for students and the surrounding community, while also significantly reducing operating costs.

As the push for sustainable practices intensifies, fleet operators face crucial decisions regarding alternative fuels. Propane and electric vehicles are two prominent options.
What kind of fleet is best suited for electric versus propane autogas?
Maintaining park spaces that are vibrant, sustainable and accessible is always an energy-intensive effort.
Dedicated people provide a heroic share of the power supply, but still there are needs to be met – lighting, building heat, grounds maintenance and transportation spring to mind. The push toward net-zero emissions, together with the imperatives of efficiency and cost-effectiveness, make energy one of the defining challenges for park advocates and professionals.
During the historic 2024 hurricane season, hundreds of thousands of Americans have lost access to power, heat, cooking, and hot water, creating an urgent need for propane to get through the ensuing days and weeks. Propane companies around the country have rallied to provide immediate and long-term relief, helping communities get back on their feet.
The School District of Philadelphia is embracing cleaner, greener transportation by adding buses that are 96% cleaner than traditional diesel vehicles to its fleet.
With this month’s focus on the autogas market, I wanted to provide you with some safety features related to autogas.
If you service autogas vehicles, you should be aware that the National Fire Protection Association provides a set of guidelines to consider when garaging autogas vehicles. You should also become familiar with the requirements for facility design to ensure a safe work environment.
