Natural Gas
Natural gas is making the air cleaner, while supporting nearly 3 million U.S. jobs and contributing over $300 billion to the national economy each year.
Because of natural gas development, our country has seen an energy renaissance that is creating a cleaner environment while bringing us reliable, affordable electricity to power our lives and secure our future.
Natural gas is also contributing to a global transformation. Over the past three decades, natural gas has helped 1.3 billion people worldwide get electricity and escape debilitating poverty.
Thanks to natural gas, we’re also making tremendous environmental progress. Carbon and other emissions are at their lowest levels in 25 years because of clean energy technologies and the increased use of natural gas. Natural gas is also making renewable energy like wind and solar possible. It’s the leading source of backup power and used to manufacture the technology.
