Energy Use in CT Tommy Joyner

Graph

Graph Explained In 1960, Natural gas was at 25 trillion btu’s. In 1999, Natural gas was at 150 trillion btu’s. Overall, Natural gas has been on a slow but steady increase.

Disadvantages Using natural gas results in greenhouse gas emissions, creating CO2, which can create global warming True natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless making its leak detection very difficult Natural gas is highly volatile and can be dangerous if handled or transported carelessly

Advantages Natural gas can be efficiently and safely stored It emits 60-90% less smog-producing pollutants Low emissions after burning

Does this trend support Connecticut’s initiative to significantly decrease the use of non-renewable resources by the year 2010?
