We are all
becoming more sensitive to environmental issues, and we want to
do "the right thing" with regard to the environment. NATURAL GAS
is
Practical and
attainable, right here, right now
America's
second largest energy resource
The
CLEANEST BURNING of all fossil fuels, emitting 45%
LESS carbon dioxide than the coal used to generate
electricity
Extremely
efficient, with 89% of the energy at the wellhead
reaching the end user (to deliver electricity to your home,
78% of the original energy is lost!); this efficiency
translates to 60% LESScarbon dioxide emissions
than with an all electric home, and improvements in
appliance efficiency mean that the typical residential
customer uses 20% LESS natural gas than they did 20 years
ago
