Natural gas has been warming your home, cooking your food and fueling local industry for decades. But did you know that natural gas is the cleanest-burning fossil fuel? It emits much less carbon dioxide and other harmful pollutants than oil, coal and other fossil fuels.[1]
Natural gas is an important part of California’s energy mix, and essential to help our state meet the Federal Clean Air Act and the California Climate Change Initiatives, which require a dramatic reduction in combustion emissions and greenhouse gases. And best of all, it can help meet our environmental goals at an affordable cost — which is important to all Californians!
