Natural gas is
one of many energy
resources being sought out as an alternative to some of the more pollutant geologic
resources used abundantly today.
Natural gas is being raved about due to how much cleaner it burns than other traditi
onal fossil fuels, and it is becoming
one of the more popular forms of energy because of this trait. It is a colorless, odorless fossil fuel, also known as methane. Today?s uses for this
resource are heating, cooling, producti
on of electricity, and many uses in industry. It is being combined with other fossil fuels to improve envir
onmental performance and decrease polluti
on. Overall,
natural gas is becoming popular because it is an abundant, alternative energy
resource that is envir
onmentally friendly. It can help play a role in addressing some of the envir
onmental issues that are becoming more serious. In additi
on to it being great for the envir
onment, it is affordable, available and efficient which will make it a far more superior fossil fuel in the future.
Natural gas has so many positive aspects and these aspects are all reas
ons why it should be used as an alternative energy
resource. Since it is
one of the cleanest burning fossil fuels it will help improve the quality of our air and our water. For example, when
natural gas burns the combusti
on leaves almost no sulfur dioxide emissi
ons in the air and all other emissi
ons are far less than other fossil fuels. The reducti
on of these toxic emissi
ons will help us reduce two of the main air polluti
on issues we face today ? acid rain and carb
on m
onoxide oz
one polluti
on.
