I'm not seeing why they wouldn't, they're the ones who drill for it.
Anyhow, I hear about all the gas we have, yet it seems like we use it sparsely.
Just a thought.
Were not talking about propane, which is a byproduct of petroleum drilling.
Natural gas could be filled at your home through the same pipeline hooked up to your furnace, hot water heater, stove, etc. It would eliminate needing to go to the service station except when you are away from home for long distances.
It is much safer to use as opposed to Propane. Propane is heavier than air and settles to the ground in the event of a leak. Natural gas is lighter than air and rises. It is less likey to cause explosions.
Also, natural gas can be found all over the eastern US , much closer to the population centers.
