In NewJersey, there are Public Service Electric and Gas( major utility company here) vans that run on methane and there have been a few transit buses that do as well. Methane is renewable in that it's produced naturally in landfills, etc. Unfortunately, most landfills burn it off instead of building piplines.
Land developers here have put forth plans for mini-cities within townships: condos, businesses and rail service contained in an area, eliminating urban sprawl. Unfortunately, red tape, town planners, etc, killed most every one of these planned communities, yet 100's of McMansions keep getting built.
The bottom line is cooperation. As stated, the technology to utilize alternative fuels has been around for decades. But from planning to reality of use rarely goes smooth by the time everyone has their hand on it. Seems to be this need to show immediate cash flow and that's usually from fist to fist.
