Cleaner air, vast economic opportunities and abundant domestic energy. Natural gas is a game changing fuel that not only can power our homes, businesses and vehicles, but also our economic and environmental futures.
Because this abundant American energy source emits half the carbon of coal, 80 percent less nitrogen oxides and virtually no sulfur dioxide, mercury or particulate matter, natural gas has broad and growing appeal to advance our clean energy future.
Natural gas also supports 2.8 million American jobs, a figure that includes more than 600,000 men and women who work directly in our industry and help ensure our nation is able to access this clean energy resource in a safe and responsible manner.
Over the last few decades, drilling technology has been advanced, refined and improved, allowing us to access natural gas more efficiently than ever.
But how exactly does the process work?
Our latest installment of Nat Gas Now provides viewers with an overview of the proven process of hydraulic fracturing, which has been routinely used for decades in communities across the country to access natural gas in a safe and efficient manner.
The natural gas community is committed to being good neighbors and responsible stewards of the land. We will continue to work closely with the states to address public questions and concerns about natural gas extraction and to raise awareness of the extraordinary care that goes into ensuring we develop this abundant American resource in a safe and responsible way.
With responsible development of this clean energy resource, our nation can reap the economic and environmental benefits of natural gas. It's one more reason to join our call for nat gas now!
