Natural Gas Is Non-Renewable

Natural Gas is abundant, but non-renewable (formed over thousands, if not millions of years). It is important to understand the limits of our natural gas supply.

How Much Natural Gas Is Available?

Measuring natural gas in the ground is not easy, and requires estimation. With new technologies, these estimates have become more reliable.

 
Natural Gas - A Versatile Energy Source

For hundreds of years, natural gas has been known as a very useful substance. The Chinese discovered a very long time ago that the energy in natural gas could be harnessed, and used to heat water. In the early days of the natural gas industry, the gas was mainly used to light streetlamps, and the occasional house. However, with much improved distribution channels and technological advancements, natural gas is being used in ways never thought possible.

Natural Gas - A Regulated Market

The natural gas industry has existed in this country for over 100 years, and it continues to grow. Deregulation and the move toward cleaner burning fuels have created an enormous market for natural gas across the country. New technologies are continually developed that allow Americans to use natural gas in new and exciting ways. With all of the advantages of natural gas, it is no wonder it has become the fuel of choice in this country, and throughout the world.
