The Benefits of Natural Gas in Our Communities and in Our Homes
Available in abundance domestically, natural gas offers the U.S. the opportunity to achieve energy independence. There is currently enough natural gas in its traditional form to meet U.S. demand for more than 100 years. Natural gas is:
A cost-effective primary energy source that meets the needs of a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial applications
Highly reliable and very flexible so it can be stored and then delivered whenever customers need it
Clean burning; emitting less CO2 per unit of energy than any other fossil fuel; and releasing less greenhouse gas (GHG) than electricity.
