  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
Allied Clean Fuels

[[Page 11366]]

Plaza upon the occasion of their Grand Opening Celebration. This fuel 
service center is the first business in Northern California to 
specialize in offering clean fuel options for all types of vehicles.
  In addition to the traditional three grades of unleaded and diesel 
gasoline offered by most service stations throughout the country, the 
Plaza offers a broad range of fuels and energies which address the 
ecological issues of the twenty-first century. These fuels include E-85 
ethanol, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), renewable hydrocarbon diesel, 
Propane Autogas and six fast-fill compressed natural gas (CNG) 
dispensers. The Plaza also features the option to recharge electric 
cars with a state of the art Tesla Supercharger Station. The 
Supercharger is capable of charging, eight Tesla vehicles 
simultaneously in just 20 minutes.
  The Allied Clean Fuels Plaza is addressing the serious issue of 
climate change by making cleaner sources of energy available to our 
community. The station is already equipped to offer Liquefied Natural 
Gas (LNG) and Hydrogen to meet the demands of our community as these 
fuels become more popular. The Plaza represents the first of the types 
of businesses we will need to protect the vitality of our environment 
for future generations.
  While the Plaza is looking toward the future, they are firmly rooted 
in the history and values of our community. They are affiliated with 
Allied Propane Service, which has been operating in Northern California 
for 50 years. Their emphasis on clean fuel reflects the desires of 
members of our community to be responsible consumers. Their full 
service Circle K convenience store sells sandwiches, soups and regional 
cheeses from local vendors, and they offer premium wines from Napa and 
Sonoma, the best wine in the world.
  Mr. Speaker, the Allied Clean Fuels Plaza is an innovative, 
responsible and impressive new service station in my community. Stan 
Teaderman is the driving force behind the Plaza and is an important 
member of our community who works hard to benefit the environment and 
support many charitable causes. Therefore, it is fitting and proper 
that we honor them here today and wish them the best of success.
