Like all fossil fuels, natural gas though found in abundance is non-renewable and hence likely to be exhausted at some point of time. It is highly flammable and not a solution to our energy problems. Global warming and climate change are the results from the constant burning of natural gas because it releases carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other carbon compounds which are greenhouse gases. In fact it is detrimental to one’s health for it emits odorless and most leaks cannot be detected unless some odorant has been added to the gas. Hydraulic fracturing is a process used in nine out of 10 natural gas wells in the United States, a process where millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals are pumped underground to break apart the rock
