Gas and electricity are two forms of energy that are used to power homes, businesses, and industries.
Gas: This typically refers to natural gas, which is a fossil fuel that is commonly used for heating, cooking, and generating electricity. Natural gas is delivered to homes and businesses through pipelines and is measured in units of energy known as therms or cubic feet.
Electricity: This is a form of energy that is generated from various sources, including coal, natural gas, nuclear power, and renewable sources like wind and solar. Electricity is delivered to homes and businesses through power grids and is measured in units of energy known as kilowatt-hours (kWh).
Both gas and electricity are regulated by government agencies and are subject to market forces, such as supply and demand, which can affect their prices. Consumers can choose to purchase gas and electricity from a variety of suppliers, and many states have deregulated their energy markets, allowing consumers to choose their own energy provider.
Conserving energy by using energy-efficient appliances and practices, and choosing renewable energy sources, can help reduce the environmental impact of energy use and promote sustainability.
