Too Far to Waste: NSF Spends Almost $270K to Study if the Placement of Alternative Fuel Stations Affects People's Willingness to Buy Alternative Fuel Cells

Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
Subcommittee on Federal Spending Oversight and Emergency Management
Abstract
From the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the Subcommittee on Federal Spending Oversight and Emergency Management led by Senator Rand Paul issued a weekly waste report describing a concern with respect to the National Science Foundation's spending of nearly $270,000 to research how the availability of alternative fuel affects a person's decision to buy or lease a vehicle that runs on something other than gasoline. The report takes issue with the government funding of this study in comparison to those companies producing and selling alternative fuel vehicles.
