The U.S. needs clean and accessible energy to continue to grow and thrive, and there is only one domestic fuel source that fits the bill: natural gas.

Natural gas has proven its role in the transition to a lower carbon energy future and it is a foundational fuel needed for the expansion of renewable sources like wind and solar. The decrease in coal-fired generation and its reduced carbon dioxide emissions is made possible by a corresponding increase in gas-fired generation. And even though natural gas distribution companies deliver to customers 99.9% or more of the gas that enters their systems, the industry is charting a path toward net-zero emissions. The public can be assured that the natural gas transportation and distribution system is an incredibly safe, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly system to heat our homes, grow our businesses, cook our meals, and provide us with hot water.
