Do you think natural gas is healthy or not? I think it is healthy to use natural gas because natural gas is a cleaner burning fuel. Also when natural gas is burned it doesn’t pollute water, ground, or air. It comes from the ground by drilling into the ground and using pipes and tanks to get natural gas from the ground. This is why I think natural gas is healthy.

Natural gas is a cleaner burning fuel. Other fuels like fossil fuel when it is burned it release things that are bad for us and the world. When natural gas is burned it only release a little or no things that are bad for us. Also natural gas is easy to transport along pipes so we can get natural gas easier than we can get fossil fuels

When natural gas is burned it doesn’t pollute water, ground, or air. When fossil fuel is burned it releases carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, and acidic gas that contribute to the formation of acid rain. Natural gas is better for cars also because it don’t pollute the air.

People that are against may say If there is a leak in a pipe and there is natural gas it may cause fire or explosion. But natural gas is lighter than air so if there is a leak it is less likely to create an explosion when compare to propane gas that much heavier than air. Also people might say when using natural gas in cars or trucks the mileage from natural gas is lower than gasoline. But natural gas burns cleaner than diesel and gasoline and natural gas burn without releasing soot or sulfur dioxide.
