About Natural Gas

Natural gas is the cleanest, most energy-efficient fossil fuel you can use. By burning natural gas to heat water and your home, to dry clothes and to cook, you generate only about 25% of the carbon dioxide (greenhouse gases) used to generate the same amount of electric heat.  Gas is preferred for cooktops and for drying clothes with a minimum of static. Its low price and convenience make it Americas favorite source of home heat.
