For the first time in decades, the U.S. is leading the world in both energy production and the reduction of carbon emissions. Today, the natural gas industry is providing millions of Americans with safe, affordable, and reliable energy, which is also making us less reliant on foreign fuel sources.

Unfortunately, the critical role of natural gas as a domestic energy source is not always easily understood by many Americans or our policymakers. If we are going to continue reducing emissions and fueling our economy, we need federal, state, and local policies that support the development, transportation, and use of natural gas.
