Natural gas is used to heat about half the homes in the United States. It also generates about 33% of our electricity. Why is natural gas so popular and what are the advantages of using it?
Natural gas is used for energy over coal and oil for several reasons. One major reason is natural gas is “clean burning.” This means that it produces fewer undesirable by-products than coal or petroleum. When natural gas is burned it does emit carbon dioxide, but at only half the rate that coal does. Natural gas is more energy efficient than coal as well; natural gas can better convert heat energy into electrical power.
Another benefit of natural gas is the fact that it is domestic. Pretty much all of the natural gas used in the United States comes from the United States. This is different than oil because about 25% of all our oil is imported from other countries.
