Murkowski joins call for more natural gas vehicles

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Sen. Lisa Murkowski added her name to a bill encouraging the manufacture of natural gas cars and trucks on Friday.
 
The bill would extend and increase tax credits for natural gas vehicles and refueling stations.
 
Murkowski said the bill not only decreases our dependence on foreign oil, it also saves consumers money at the pump and protects the environment.
