natural gas advantages

We are all becoming more sensitive to environmental issues, and we want to do “the right thing” with regard to the environment. NATURAL GAS is:

> Practical and attainable, right here, right now

>America’s second largest energy resource

> The CLEANEST BURNING of all fossil fuels, emitting 45% LESS carbon dioxide than the coal used to generate electricity

>Extremely efficient, with 89% of the energy at the wellhead reaching the end user (to deliver electricity to your home, 78% of the original energy is lost!); this efficiency translates to 60% LESS carbon dioxide emissions than with an all electric home, and improvements in appliance efficiency mean that the typical residential customer uses 20% LESS natural gas than they did 20 years ago.

The ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES of natural gas:

  • Natural gas is domestically produced and refined; it is truly an American product
  • Operating profit from Bay City Gas Company stays in Bay City
  • Natural gas appliances offer better energy efficiency than their  electric competition
  • Natural gas appliances typically operate at MUCH lower costs than electric appliances
  • Natural gas water heaters produce hot water twice as fast as electric water heaters, at about half the cost
  • Natural gas clothes dryers operate at about half the cost of electric dryers (and the clothes come out softer!)
  • Natural gas cooking appliances offer instant on / instant off control, as well as precise adjustability
