Did You Know?
It Produces Less Pollution and Greenhouse Gases
Compared to its energy counterparts—30% less than fuel oil and 15% less than propane—with virtually no solid waste.
It’s Economical
Natural gas has been less expensive than propane, fuel oil and electricity since 2010. It’s projected to stay that way for at least 20 more years.
It’s Efficient [92% Efficiency]
Natural gas is nearly three times more efficient than electricity when the entire cycle of producing, processing and transporting energy is considered.
It’s Abundant
Nearly 100% of the U.S. natural gas supply comes from North America. This plentiful supply will continue to grow and meet our energy needs for many years to come.
It’s Flexible
It’s a fuel for both residential and industrial use. It generates power for peak demand use. It fuels cars, semi-trucks and boats.
It’s Reliable
Natural gas appliances can operate during power outages, so you can operate and get the job done.
