Natural gas is both abundant and clean burning. It produces less CO2 than oil or coal and there is nearly a 100 year supply right here in North America. There are many kinds of natural gas related jobs. Natural gas exploration is occurring throughout the world and here at home the Marcellus shale is the biggest news. The Marcellus shale holds at least a ten year supply of natural gas at current consumption rates, possibly more.

There are jobs in natural gas research including in the field of converting natural gas to gasoline that can be used in any car, without the need for costly conversion equipment. Natural gas powered fuel cells may one day be in every American home, feeding power back into the grid instead of using electricity produced in power plants. Already there are thousands of home fuel cells in California, which offers generous rebates. For a look at the various kinds of jobs in the field of natural gas see this article. Natural Gas Jobs.
