Natural Gas Is AMERICAN

About 98% of the natural gas we use comes from right here in North America. Conversely, 70% of the oil we use is imported.

We export about $1.7 billion a day to pay for foreign oil, adding to our trade deficit and weakening the dollar. By using domestic natural gas, we strengthen both our nation’s economy and energy security — keeping jobs and revenues at home.
