Natural Gas
What is Natural Gas?
Natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. It moves silently, safely and
efficiently through an extensive network of interstate pipelines in the United
States, and our utility company is part of that network.
Below are some reassuring facts about natural gas:
· Natural gas is not a poison or toxic.
· Natural gas is colorless and odorless in its natural state.
· Natural gas will not ignite on its own. To burn, gas requires both a precise
amount of oxygen and an ignition source.
· Natural gas is lighter than air and will rise and diffuse rapidly.
Are Pipelines Safe?
Natural gas pipelines are the safest method of transporting energy. They lie
underground, virtually unseen as they deliver large volumes of gas to their
customers. Although our company follows pipeline safety procedures, it is still
important for everyone living and working near gas pipelines to know basic
safety information.
Also, pipelines are part of the critical infrastructure of the United States
energy grid. Please call local law enforcement if you see anything out of the
ordinary in your area. Together, we can take precautions that will keep America
strong.
