How it Works: Fracking m9apeY
What it's Used For -The majority is used as fuel -Increasingly being used for electric power generation -Natural gas is used to make plastics, antifreeze, and fabrics.
Is it Realistic? -Relatively abundant in US -NG levels expected to peak in Leakage levels exceeding 3.2%, natural gas is unsafe -Difficult to transport
The Future of Natural Gas Natural gas is on the rise --abundant --cheap Expected to surpass petroleum by 2030
Pros The cleanest burning of all fossil fuels Burns very efficiently Large Supply in the US
Cons Water pollution from fracking chemicals Releases Methane, a GHG Nonrenewable Inconvenient to transport.
