Earlier this week, the American Gas Association released its 2015 Playbook. The report shows that natural gas continues to deliver safe, affordable, and reliable energy, while also providing environmental and energy efficiency benefits.
Customers are deriving financial savings from using natural gas. For instance, households that use natural gas for space heating, water heating, cooking and clothes drying save an average of $693 per year compared to customers who use electricity to power these activities. Over the past five years, low natural gas prices have provided a total savings of almost $65 billion to natural gas customers, allowing this money to be used for other necessities.
Natural gas utilities are becoming more efficient while emitting smaller amounts of greenhouse gases. In 2012, natural gas allowed customers to save 136 trillion BTUs of energy and offset 7.1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in 2012.

Clean Coal and an Ocean of Natural Gas.
Now its all bad!
It taught me an important lesson, the issue is not the Issue, the Issue is the Revolution.
I personally enjoy natural gas. But then again, I am not a CO2 purist either.
The AGA 2015 Playbook is a concise yet detailed explanation about the role natural gas plays in energy security, a cleaner environment and economic prosperity. It should be a go-to resource for anyone interested in energy.

Right now I have my kitchen stove and all we can get is propane,which was almost 5 per gallon the last time I got it. Is there anything using natural gas as a refillable tanks available in Fla.Would save a lot of money,once was $7.00/gal this winter,I said no.
Not in a competitive cost with propane. The volume would be far greater since natural gas remains a gas unless at -260°F.
Propane is a liquid at reasonable pressures and atmospheric temperatures.
Carbon is such an elegant catch all for the anti modern living crowd.
