Key Parts of the Gas

  • Upstream: Finding and drilling fields to extract raw gas and oil.
  • Midstream: Moving gas via pipelines or chilled as liquefied natural gas (LNG).
  • Downstream: Refining and delivering fuel to homes, businesses, and power plants.
  • Grid Support: Gas power plants turn on fast to back up solar and wind power when weather changes

Pros and Cons

Pros
Burns cleaner than coal or oil; reliable and easy to adjust for power needs
Cons
It is a non-renewable fossil fuel; leaks release methane, a strong greenhouse gas
