- There are many sites in the United States where there is an abundant supply of natural gas and where thousands of natural gas wells are dug.
- There is a web of natural gas pipelines which extend through most of the United States.  This network of lines runs for thousands of miles, providing many with the energy needed to power their homes, companies and vehicles.

-  Natural gas demand has been increasing since the 1980's, and will continue to rise as humans become more dependant upon clean fossil fuels to power their economy.
