Advantages of Natural Gas
Natural gas is the best energy choice for people - and the
planet we live on. We all look toward a future when renewable
energy sources will meet more of our energy needs, but what can all
of us do right now? Choosing natural gas for home appliances and
business equipment is an environmentally responsible way to get the
comfort, reliability and performance you need today.
- Natural gas is more efficient
than electricity. More than 90 percent of the energy in
natural gas is delivered directly to your home, while less than a
third of the energy used to make electricity gets to your
home.
- Natural gas performs
better. Natural gas appliances heat water faster, dry
clothes faster and let you cook more efficiently and
precisely.
- Natural gas is the
cleanest-burning fossil fuel. Burning natural gas produces
44 percent less carbon dioxide emissions than coal and 22 percent
less than fuel oil, according to the U.S. Energy Information
Administration.
- Natural gas reduces your
carbon footprint. Switching to natural gas appliances can
reduce your home's carbon footprint by as much as 40 percent.
- Choosing natural gas promotes
energy independence. There is an abundant domestic supply -
more than 80 years at current production rates.
