Clean Energy for Our Environment
Fiscally Sound, Reliable & Environmentally Responsible
Abundant Energy for Our Future

IN AMERICA
78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Nearly 51 MILLION American households don’t earn enough to afford a basic monthly budget.
The U.S. is enjoying its BEST AIR QUALITY in the last half-century or longer, thanks in part to increased use of natural gas.
Natural gas now powers OVER 30% of America’s total energy needs.
The natural gas industry supports 4.1 MILLION U.S. Jobs
