One of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century was a method of using natural
gas for cooking and heating. Large amounts of natural gas are found in the United States, usually
several feet below the surface of the earth. Natural gas is most often found in places where
petroleum, the oil from which gasoline is made, is found. Often the natural gas must be removed
before the oil itself can be reached.
For many years after natural gas was first discovered, it was thought to have no value. Finally,
however, people began to understand its use and to find ways of storing it and moving it from
place to place. Today natural gas is stored in large tanks and used for lighting, cooking and
heating. It has also been used for electric generators and hybrid cars recently. In many ways
natural gas is one of our finest fuels. It can be used for cooking without making the room hot. It
is cheap and can be moved easily from one place to another through long pipelines, some of
which are hundreds of miles in length.
