From every perspective, natural gas is America’s best energy value for home, business and industrial manufacturing.

• It’s the cleanest burning fossil fuel available. When it burns the byproducts are water vapor and trace amounts of inert elements.

• It’s a domestic product. Natural gas is piped throughout the country from the Gulf States and other sections of North America. America’s energy dollars stay home!

• Since natural gas is piped by underground pipeline, it is almost 100% reliable. Even after major snowstorms, hurricanes and floods, natural gas is usually still available. Homes with natural gas will still be able to cook and take hot showers until their electricity comes back on

• When natural gas is consumed directly by the consumer, more than 90% of the energy value is used. By contrast, over 50% of the energy value of natural gas is wasted when it is used to generate electricity in a central power plant — and then passed on to the consumer via wire.

Ultimately, by using gas as an energy alternative, homes, businesses and industry can:

• Conserve energy for America’s long term
• Save money on utility bills
• Reduce overall energy consumption
• Reduce oil imports from foreign countries
• Improve the environment
• Gas is a clean burning fuel
