In the United States, most natural gas is burned as a fuel. In 2012 about 30% of the energy consumed across the nation was obtained from natural gas .

Answer 2

Explanation:

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, natural gas was used primarily for street and building lighting, providing what was known as gaslight. Today, improved distribution of gas has made possible a wide variety of uses in homes, businesses, factories, and power plants.In 2011, for example, the US consumed nearly 24 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, 30 percent of US energy consumption and the energy equivalent of almost 190 billion gallons of gasoline [1].In 2012, the United States consumed nearly 26 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, primarily in the electric power and industrial sectors [2]. Although domestic natural gas production has grown substantially in the last decade,consumption still exceeded production in 2012 [3]. Pipeline imports from Canada supply most of the balance. A smaller amount is imported as liquefied natural gas via supertankers [4]. The US Energy Information Administration projects a 50 percent rise in global natural gas consumptionbetween 2010 and 2035, with growth in Brazil and China driving increased demand [5].
