Why Propane Should Be Your First Choice for Energy Source

• Propane is a U.S.-produced product! When you buy propane, you are helping stimulate the American economy and making our nation more self-sufficient as a result.

• Propane is not a greenhouse gas. It is both nontoxic and noncorrosive. This makes it truly eco-friendly.

• When used to power equipment, propane is known to reduce harmful emissions by 40% when compared to gasoline and diesel.

• Common sources of electricity, such as coal and petroleum, are actually more harmful to the environment than propane.

• To illustrate the previous point, electric water heaters emit two-and-a-half times more carbon than propane water heaters.

• End users get to use 91% of the energy that propane produces. This means only 9% of it is lost during transportation and production.
• Electricity is incomparable with propane since end users only get to use 31.5% of the energy that the electricity produces.
• Of all the energy used to produce electricity, 68.5% of it is lost to transmission, conversion, distribution, and plant use.
• Of all the electricity used in the U.S., 68.8% of it comes from natural gas, coal, and petroleum products.
• A mere 10.5% of our nation’s electricity comes from renewable sources. Hydro-electric power plants are responsible for 75% of this electricity.
