In the United States, natural gas is second only to coal in the production of electricity. Replacing coal fired power plants with natural gas could lead to significant reductions in greenhouse gasses including CO2.
Electricity production relies upon natural gas Every day and every night. As opposed to solar power and wind power, natural gas is available 24 hours a day and can fuel our nation’s power needs when the wind is not blowing and the sun has set. Clean burning natural gas is a consistent, reliable power source our country can depend upon every day.
