Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has signed into law legislation that will increase income tax credits and incentives for purchasers of compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG) and other alternative fuel vehicles.

What is billed as the world’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG)/compressed natural gas (CNG) truck fueling station opened last month in the nation’s busiest port, the combined Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors in Southern California.
