THE NATURAL GAS SOLUTION

Natural gas is a domestic, reliable and abundant energy resource, providing fuel for municipal and commercial truck fleets, marine vessels, drill rigs and other high-horsepower engines... When used to generate electricity, natural gas produces half the CO2 emissions of coal. In recent years, the use of natural gas by electricity-generating plants has increased greatly, and today power sector CO2 emission levels are at their lowest levels in nearly 30 years. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that switching to natural gas accounted for almost two-thirds of the CO2 emission reductions from 2006 to 2014... To define natural gas, we must to understand what it consists of, beyond an understanding that it comes from nature. Natural gas is made up of a mixture of four naturally occurring gases, all of which have different molecular structures. This mixture consists primarily of methane, which makes up 70-90% of natural gas along with ethane, butane and propane. These gases..
