    regions, geological formations a mile below the earth’s surface that hold vast supplies of natural gas are bringing
    more high-paying jobs to communities across the country.

Natural Gas in America’s Clean Energy Portfolio
     America could realize substantial environmental,
     economic and national security benefits –
     including near-term reductions in carbon and
     other harmful emissions – by using natural gas
     more effectively in four key ways:
       • Increasing the utilization of existing natural
           gas power plants;

        •    Expanding the conversion of coal-fired
             generating facilities to natural gas;

        •    Using natural gas as a reliable partner to
             the development of renewable energy; and

        •    Increasing the use of natural gas as a
             vehicle fuel, particularly in large
             transportation fleets.
