America’s oil and natural gas companies are making their operations cleaner and more efficient. They are also reinvesting industry earnings in new technology, new production, and environmental and product quality improvements that will meet tomorrow’s energy needs.

• The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that simple investments and behavioral changes can bring about a 20 percent increase in energy efficiency, with savings that can amount to almost $19 billion (in 2004 energy prices).
• Computers and new refining technology have improved refining operations and efficiency. Though no refineries have been built in the last 30 years, the industry has added the equivalent of 16 refineries. This is an increase of 13 percent domestic refining capacity.
• Efficiency efforts by oil and natural gas companies allow production with less waste, less electricity, and less greenhouse gas emissions.
• Fewer wells have meant less wasted energy in drilling operations.

Cogeneration produces electricity and thermal energy efficiencies that can be more than twice that of the traditional approach of producing electricity and steam separately. It saves energy in refineries, in some instances, leading to excess electricity generated at the refinery that can be sold off-site for use by schools, hospitals and many other facilities.

Homeowners often make risky assumptions about whether or not they should get their utility lines marked, but every digging job requires a call to 811 – even small projects like planting trees and shrubs. The depth of natural gas and other utility lines varies and there may be multiple utility lines in a common area. Digging without calling can disrupt service to an entire neighborhood, harm you and those around you, and potentially result in fines and repair costs. Calling 811 before every digging job gets your underground utility lines marked for free and helps prevent undesired consequences.

If you are trying to find cheap gas then you have come to the right place. Get the scoop on cheap gas here.

Many technologies and fuels are used to generate electricity at power plants, which is then delivered to consumers through a complex network of lines and equipment known as the “grid.” The price that consumers pay for electricity is determined by weather factors, fuel costs, consumer demand, and regulations.

Gas scooters will save you tons of money on gas costs and are a great way to get errands done. Find out the benefits of a gas scooter here.
