  2. Who We Are • Founded in 1918, American Gas Association represents more than 200 local energy companies that deliver clean natural gas throughout the United States • More than 71 million residential, commercial and industrial natural gas customers in the U.S., of which 94 percent - more than 68 million customers - receive their gas from AGA members

  12. Residential Natural Gas Use:An Efficiency Success Story Natural gas usage per household has decreased even as overall demand for energy has risen. This trend is due in part to installation of tighter-fitting windows and doors, better insulation, utility sponsored energy efficiency programs, and the development of increasingly more efficient natural gas appliances.

  19. Emissions Have Declined Even as Pipelines Have Expanded Replacing pipelines with protected steel and plastic materials can reduce emissions more than 95%.

  20. EPA and Other Policy Actions • Section 433 – 2007 energy legislation requiring elimination of fossil fuels from government buildings and installations • Boiler Rule – Air toxics on industrial and other boiler applications • EPA 111(b) and 111(d) emissions rules new source and existing source power plants • DOE Furnace Rule
