Our success story of the week hails from Harrisonburg, Virginia,
where James Madison University is teaching by example
when it comes to cleaner alternative fuels. 
JMU's campus vehicle fleet includes biodiesel buses, medium-duty 
hybrids like this refuse hauler, electric utility vehicles,
and will soon add a number of propane vehicles
as part of a multi-state initiative.
 But the hands-on learning in the Alternative Fuel Vehicles Lab
is where creativity hits the road—literally. 
Here, students are challenged to build a variety of clean fuel project 
vehicles, ranging from a biodiesel trike to a hydrogen fuel cell scooter 
and a record-setting 1968 Sears Roebuck motorcycle
converted to electric power. 
 We want to educate the students, 
but we also want to educate the public—
not only about the oil reserves and what it's looking like for them 
running out, but also the alternatives that are coming down the pike. 
 The Virginia Clean Cities coalition is helping JMU go green today
 and teach green for tomorrow.
