Why is natural gas such a favorite with homeowners and businesses?

1. Natural gas is reliable.

North America has abundant supplies of natural gas that will last for generations to come. Additionally, since natural gas is distributed through underground pipelines, it cannot be disrupted by weather or delayed delivery trucks.

2. Natural gas is domestic.

One hundred percent of the natural gas SMNG supplies comes from North America. In contrast, 60 percent of the oil used by the U.S. comes from foreign countries, some with governments that are politically unstable.

3. Natural gas is efficient.

Natural gas has a "total energy efficiency" of 90 percent. This means that very little energy is lost producing, processing, transporting and using natural gas. Moreover, natural gas appliances are virtually maintenance-free and much more efficient than their electrical counterparts.

4. Natural gas is environmentally friendly.

Natural gas burns cleaner than all other fossil fuels.

5. Natural gas is aesthetically pleasing.

With natural gas, you don't have to worry about ugly tanks on your property or fuel trucks driving on your yard.

6. Natural gas is multi-purpose.

Natural gas does so many things to make your life easier – it cooks your meals, warms your home, heats your water, dries your clothes, runs your barbecue and fuels your fireplace.

7. Natural gas is economical.

Since SMNG's rates are regulated by the Missouri Public Service Commission, you can always depend on reasonable and affordable energy costs.
