The Congress finds that—
|
||
|
||
(1) propane gas, or liquefied petroleum gas, is an essential energy commodity providing heat, hot water, cooking fuel, and motor fuel among its many uses to millions of Americans;
|
||
|
||
(2) the use of propane is especially important to rural citizens and farmers, offering an efficient and economical source of gas energy;
|
||
|
||
(3) propane has been recognized as a clean fuel and can contribute in many ways to reducing the pollution in our cities and towns; and
|
||
|
||
(4) propane is primarily domestically produced and its use provides energy security and jobs for Americans.
