As energy demand rises amid today's #AI revolution, America must embrace natural gas as a readily available energy source that can power innovation across our country, deliver energy security to our allies, and reduce emissions around the world. “We need to be moving towards a 'best of the above' approach towards energy, and that means the most reliable, cleanest, most affordable source. As history has shown, that has proven to be natural gas," says EQT Corporation’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Toby Z. Rice. Hear more on Yahoo Finance:

You know what's spooky? ?? The thought of emissions increasing 112 million metric tons in just one year if U.S. LNG exports weren't part of our energy mix.

A study shows if coal was replaced with natural gas in China, India, South Korea and Taiwan for electricity generation, we could see a 42-55% reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions. By embracing #NatGas, we can reach our climate goals faster! Learn more on how natural gas can reduce global emissions: https://lnkd.in/eAwshy8u

U.S. natural gas-fired electricity generation set new daily records in summer 2024. #naturalgas #CNGC

It’s clear that natural gas is a critical part of the energy mix during times of peak demand and when renewables are intermittent. On Aug. 2, U.S. natural gas-fired power plants generated more than 7 million megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity, making up almost half of all electricity generated in the contiguous United States that day. The increase is attributed to hotter weather, low natural gas prices and new combined-cycle generating capacity, according to the EIA. Over the past few years, the balance of sources of electricity generation in the United States—especially in the summer—has shifted to more renewables and natural gas and less coal. As electric generation capacity from renewable sources grows, natural gas is used increasingly to balance the intermittent nature of electricity produced from wind and solar. In fact, since 2014, the share of U.S. electricity generation from natural gas in the summer has increased every year except 2021, increasing from 29% in 2014 to 45% in 2024.

We want to recognize and thank our Carolinas Natural Gas Coalition member companies who are working around the clock to restore power and rebuild communities in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Significant progress has been made, although the road to full recovery remains long. To our members, if there’s anything the Coalition or your fellow members can do to assist, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to support the important work being done to help NC and SC respond, recover, and rebuild. #NaturalGas #CNGC
