NATURAL GAS: AMERICA'S CHOICE FOR HOMES (AND BUSINESSES!)
Natural gas is an efficient source of energy that is
easy to use – and easy on the environment. It is “home-grown”
energy. 97% of the natural gas used in the United States comes
from this country and Canada. Because natural gas burns much
cleaner and is more cost efficient, it is the energy choice of many
homeowners today,
both inside the house
and for easier
outdoor living.
