began to understand its use and to find ways of storing it and moving it from place to place. Today natural gas is
stored in large tanks and used for lighting, cooking and heating. It has also been used for electric generators and
hybrid cars recently. In many waysnatural gas is one of our finest fuels. It can be used for cooking without
making the room hot. It ischeap and can be moved easily from one place to another through long pipelines,
