Renewable natural gas advocates including Cummins and Clean Energy, the largest RNG provider in the nation, are off to Washington D.C., next month to remind lawmakers and government officials that electric isn't the only clean energy option.

More RNG suppliers have stepped up in the space including BP, Chevron and Shell. An RNG fuel tax credit bill, if passed, could create even more interest.

Not our first rodeo. Winter testing of an EV dates back to the 19th century. A United States Postal Service carrier is shown above with a Winton Electric in 1899. Concerns with range and long charge times led USPS to embrace internal combustion. Over 100 years later the agency is working to deploy 66,000 EVs by 2028 making it one of the largest EV fleets in the nation. Here's to hoping that they've clearly thought through range, charging infrastructure and battery lifecycle management.
