Gasification: The Economic Benefits
Gasification is a flexible, reliable, and clean energy technology that can turn a variety of low-value feedstocks into high-value products, help reduce our dependence on foreign oil and natural gas, and can provide a clean alternative source of baseload electricity, fertilizers, fuels, and chemicals.

what makes natural gas a good or bad choice? what are some advantages or disadvantages?
is the fuel energy efficient? why or why not?
what is the average cost of natural gas?
Natural Gas burns clean, but it is a non-renewable resource. My opinion is natrual gas is a good choice as long as they keep their inspections of the lines current to make sure nothing bad happens. I know of at least 3 instances in Maryland (when we lived there) of houses blowing up because of gas leaks. Luckily nobody was home when it happened.
Here are our prices in Colorado Springs:
Natural Gas
Access charge per day $0.3142
Access charge per CCF $0.1262
Natural gas cost per CCF $0.6034
GCA per CCF $0.0000
Compare this to when we lived in Maryland:
2.RATE TABLE:
Customer Charge . . .$ 13.00 per month, plus
Delivery Price (For all gas used) .. 25.61 cents per therm
As far as average cost that would be hard to determine unless you could get prices from across the country. You will find the Northeast will be typically higher than most places.
As far as appliances go, the newer ones should be more efficient. For furnaces the lowest rating you can get is 80AFUE, which basically means $.80 out of every dollar you spend goes towards heating your house. The higher the rating the better.
Sarah:
I think ethanol was off topic for this one, but they do have something called Full Flex Gold that is a converter so you can run regular gas or E85. I dont know how much or how prevalent E85 is in your area, but here in Colorado Springs E85 is running around $1 cheaper than regular 85 Octane gas. Website is below for the converter.
The Full Flex is the only 2007 OBD 2 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) compliant E85 ethanol conversion kit in the United States.
Would it be a good idea to switch vehicles from running on gasoline to natural gas?
These are the advantages of using natural gas in vehicles.
1. We have plenty of natural gas in this country
2. It is less polluting than oil
3. It is cheaper
4. It costs less to make a vehicle than can run on natural gas than a electric vehicle or hybrid vehicle.
yes because natural gas is very clean!
