Cheaper than most other fossil fuels Only about $7 per 1,000 cubic ft. 1 cubic foot produces 1,028 BTU $3-$10 will get approx 300 Kwh
Cleanest of all fossil fuels ½ the co2 emissions of oil and coal Effects atmosphere for 12 years, rather than years
Produced 5.3 billion tons of co2 emission Coal and oil produced around 10.6 billion Carbon dioxide produced at 107,000ppm vs. coal which is 208,000ppm Carbon monoxide produced at 40ppm vs. coal which is 208ppm
Uses the “hydrofracking” (hydraulic fracturing) method Not many accidents Safer to mine than coal No big accidents VIDEO
Can’t run out Getting more popular by the day Cheaper Easy mining Good for environment Overall good
