The U.S. Natural Gas And Oil Industry Is Creating Jobs, Keeping Energy Prices Affordable, And Enhancing Our Energy Security.

Over 60% of American adults live paycheck to paycheck.

Nearly 50% of Americans can’t afford a $1,000 dollar emergency expense.

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 over 4 million U.S. jobs.
