Natural gas as a better source of energy compared to Oil
Topic discussion
This is an investigation on the reasons why natural gas could be the preferred source of energy in the world. The paper is more centralized on making a comparison between natural gas and oil basing on several factors such as efficiency, costs, effects on the environment, economic impact, social impacts and geographical effects of the use of each. An investigation of the advantages of using natural gas over oil and some of its disadvantages will reveal how natural gas could be a better source of energy. Therefore, the study is designed to try and create awareness of the possibility …show more content…

Moreover, in the near future, there would be no choice as the oil reserves will be depleted and it is better to start adopting new and better sources of energy not only for economic and environmental purposes but to ensure energy sustainability in the future (ABA, 2013). Personally, I have witnessed the negative impacts of overdependence on oil, and one of it is the increasing oil prices which have negatively affected many economies especially those that do not produce oil. Another negative effect of over-dependence on oil is the devastating effects that it brings to the environment. It is with reference to these issues that I chose to carry out this study to analyze the advantages of using natural gas over oil. Several studies have been previously carried out with regard to energy, including the study on the effects that different sources of energy have on the environment (USEIA, 2009), but none of them focused on the advantages of natural gas, and that is exactly what this research will …show more content…

Data for this research will be collected through interviews, a review of previous records. An interview with an expert in the field of energy will be conducted to collect relevant information that may help to prove that natural gas is a better source of energy than oil. And a literary review and analysis of all the relevant work that has been done previously on this and related topics will be discussed. From the previous and current energy records, a lot of information will be collected about the different factors and trends in the use of energy in the world. Some of this information will include the trends in the use of various sources of energy, the economic impact of natural gas and oil, the environmental, social and political impact of the use of these two sources of
