    Clean Energy Fuels Corporation And Navistar International

    First, is the growing interest in being environmentally friendly. Companies are pressured to use green alternatives by both the government, and consumer behavior. The government promotes eco-friendliness by offerings subsidies for using green fuels; these subsidies include grants or tax credits. The government deters environmentally unfriendly behavior by issuing fines for pollution and by passing stricter emission standards. Consumers influence the companies to eco-friendly by avoiding products or services from companies that pollute or harm the environment in another way. Alternatively, consumers may seek out a company’s products because they are an environmentally friendly company. Another contributing factor is the cost savings that are offered by natural gas. The average cost for a gallon of compressed natural gas in the United States is $2.11, a gallon of regular gasoline is $3.39, and a gallon of diesel is $3.89. A third factor is cultural. A move to natural gas powered vehicles could mean energy independence for the United States. The unrest and political turmoil in the Middle East has led to a desire for the United States to no longer depend on that region for oil. The introduction of fracking has led to an abundance of natural gas being harvested in both America and Canada.

    “National governments and energy companies have been paying more attention to synthetic fuels in recent years, as rising oil prices and political instability in oil-producing countries have created incentitives to seek out alternatives”. (Sailor, n.d.). If synthetic fueal can supply thenty five percent of the US energys resource this would allowed a big break for the external and internal US business environment. The cost of energy would definatly go down this will allowed for more competitive prices in the market place to take actions.
