Natural Gas is a fossil fuel that is found in the earth. Natural Gas was formed beneath the earth surface. As of now Natural Gas is very convenient and efficient. It is made up of two elements, Carbon and Hydrogen. It is part of a family of chemicals known as hydrocarbons, which also includes oil and gasoline. It is odorless and colorless and produces very few emissions. Natural Gas is considered to be the cleanest fossil fuel because of its clean burning qualities. Natural Gas begins by coming out of the ground as a gas and when other hydrocarbons are recovered it is then mixed together in a liquid called crude oil.

Natural Gas works by using nonrenewable resources such as fuel and coal to produce the energy. Then it is able to be used in homes around the country.

It is increasing in cooling and electric power generation.

Although it is said that Natural Gas should be decrease because it is a limited natural resource, it is very expensive to liquefy and transport and Liquid Natural Gas ports raises safety concerns, because of the possibility of accidents or explosions, I disagree. There should be a much more increase on Natural Gas in the US for several reasons. It is easily transportable, Natural Gas burns without sulfur dioxide and soot, it...
