This is a letter I have been sending to congress, the EPA, and other government agencies and energy groups. I believe in this company very strongly and I am doing all I can to encourage politicians to get behind this HHHI idea for fuel saving. Trucking companies have to charge stores for transportation costs, and this comes out of our pockets! Remember that they have to pay more for diesel than for gas. Here is a sample of my letter:
Dear Senator .....(Various Senators on energy committees) –
I thank you for the hard work you are doing for our country. I appreciate all that you have done to encourage and promote green initiatives and reduction of the use of fossil fuels. I believe that you have a sincere desire to help the average citizen like me, and that is why I am writing this letter. The issue of transportation costs affects our entire economy, as well as the environment. I know that you have much influence, and I am writing to you for your help.
I wanted to bring to your attention a system that could significantly improve fuel efficiency in our trucking industry, and indirectly reduce the cost of goods sold in stores. The company behind this invention, Highline Hydrogen Hybrids Inc. (HHHI), has filed an application for a grant through the EPA's National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program. The City of Dumas, Arkansas, is collaborating with HHHI to create a demonstration project to enhance fuel economy and reduce carbon footprint emissions for their over-the-road (OTR) commercial fleets.
United States Senator Blanche Lincoln and United States Congressman John Boozman have expressed their support for funding of this project. United States Senator Mark Pryor has also shown his support.
HHHI's supplemental fuel system has demonstrated reduction of carbon emissions by as much as 50% in external certified testing and at the same time increases fuel efficiency by as much as 30% with an average increase in horsepower of 10%.
I would ask that you would consider giving your full support to this initiative by encouraging other lawmakers and EPA administrators to expedite the funding for this project.
In my opinion, this matter is crucial to the reduction of the cost of goods in stores by reducing the amount of fuel needed to deliver and transport clothing, food, medicine, paper goods, etc, to stores and distribution centers. I believe that this system, as well as others like it, could make a huge difference in the cost of living. This is so very important now, as so many people are out of work.
Our government has done much to help people to buy basic necessities, but this system would reduce the amount that people are paying and would make the dollars we have go further.
Please carefully consider what I am saying. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
