It is easier for the standard of measurement of Natural gas to be measured in cubic feet. That is how the Gas companies measure the amount of gas produced, used, moved...etc. Since a therm is a measurement of energy we can approximate the usage like this:
The energy contained in a a cubic foot of gas varies. Therefore an exact Therm usage value will be hard to come by. (It would be easier if there was a measurement of BTU or therm content posted. The Natural Gas companies know this value when gas is acquired from the well, but they are more interested in how much they are moving.) Anyway, on AVERAGE 1ft3 of Natural Gas contains 1,000 Btu of energy. (A Btu is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.)
So...In the USA, the federal energy information administration has measured that in 2006 we used 21,653.086 Billion ft3 of Natural Gas. That is 21,653.086 *109 ft3. Since 1 cubic foot of gas contains on AVERAGE 1,000 Btu of energy, the USA used an average of 21,653.086 * 1012 Btu. Convert that into Therms and we have: (1 therm = 100,000 Btu, 1 dt = 1,000,000 Btu ) 21,653,086,000 dt, or 216,530,860,000 Therms used in 2006.
NOTE: Remember that this is a rough average since the energy contents of different samples of Natural Gas will vary by well or location.
Roughly 50 to 60 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/D) including residential and industrial use. At 50 bcf/D, this is about 1.5 trillion cubic feet per month or 18.4 trillion cubic feet/year. See: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/ng/ng_cons_sum_dcu_nus_m.htm

No the native americans did not use fences.
The pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts, which was too cold for the plantation crops that "required" African slaves and which lacked the natural resources that required overworked Native Americans to mine. They did not avoid using Africans or Native Americans out of charity.
the native Americans did not have sheep
Yes it does it lets boats go through so they use less miles and gas. It is also fasterYes it does it lets boats go through so they use less miles and gas. It is also faster
They use natural gas.
Natural gas is being misused because people are using too much of it. Homes and businesses use natural gas. It is depleting and destroying the environment.
A therm of natural gas sold to me for home use by Questar Gas cost 92 cents. The cost of a natural gas varies depending on what state you live in. Utah has the lowest cost of natural gas.
$2.56 per gallon

we do have natural gas in grand junction we have about 2 natural gas plants that give natural gas to the whole town not all homes in grand junction use natural gas but older homes use it more than newer homes do. i would say we have about 200 gallons of natural gas produced a day in grand junction.
All states with the US use natural gas.
You use Natural gas for gas cookers
Burning anything pollutes but natural gas does not pollute as much as gasoline that's why they use propane indoors for forklifts and other machines. Of course, if natural gas was a dangerous polluter then we wouldn't have gas stoves.
should we use natural gas and oil
yes it is natural gas is ethical
Because it is useful and convenient, and not too expensive.
