A new compressed natural gas fueling station is open in
Niagara Falls.
Located downtown near Niagara Reservation State Park,
the station will refuel the park's vintage-looking scenic
trolleys and other state-owned alternative fuel vehicles.
New York state has 2,158 alternative fuel vehicles in
use with more than 1,450 powered by compressed natural
gas.
The alternative fuel trolleys made their debut at the
park during Memorial Day weekend. The 60-seat vintage
style vehicles operate year-round throughout the park
and city. Ten trolleys provide interpretation and transport
for patrons within the park and connect with USA Niagara
Link's five trolleys offering a route for visitors and
residents between hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions
and the American falls.
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority
funded the purchase of the 15 trolleys with a $2.7 million
grant. The fueling station cost less than $310,000 to
build using funds from the Clean Water/Clean Air Bond
Act.

All life is
sacred.
Water is life.
Peace, Power and Righteousness to all nations.
We need to understand the cultural foundation of these terms.
Peace is not just the absence of war, it is a way of being
that promotes deep love and caring. Power is not a military
power, it is the strength that comes from social and political
unity when people are treating each other fairly. Righteousness
is the equity and justice applied to all.
