== == Natural gas is the cleanest. It produces the least amount of carbon dioxide per unit of energy released than the other fossil fuels like coal and oil.
To get the same amount of heat, natural gas produces 30% less CO2 than burning oil, and about 45% less than burning coal.

Per Wikipedia: Natural gas is often described as the cleanest fossil fuel, producing less carbon dioxide per joule delivered than either coal or oil.[10] However, in absolute terms it does contribute substantially to global emissions, and this contribution is projected to grow.

Which nonrenewable resource produces the least pollution?
Natural gas. Of the three non-renewable fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), natural gas (methane) produces the least carbon dioxide and other pollution.

Natural gas releases less carbon dioxide pollution when burnt than either coal or oil.
What stage of confirmation Burnstead more most cleanly and therefore causes the least amount of air pollution?
Anthracite
Why is natural gas the least pollution fossil fuel?
Yes, natural gas, which is mostly methane, is a fossil fuel. It is made from dead animals and plants which were compressed and heated under the ground hundreds of millions of years ago.
Why don't all utility companies in the US use the least expensive energy source to generate power?
The least expensive energy source causes too much pollution

What is least likely to leave a fossil?
A plant
Which organism is least likely to become a fossil- a snail or dandelion?
Of the three organisms it is the snails that has the least chance of becoming a fossil since it has no skeleton.
Does electricity pollute air?
To make electricity we need to burn fossil fuels (e.g coal). Doing this creates carbon emissions which do a whole load of bad things (global warming, climate change). These days people are trying to use renewable resources (wind power, solar power) so we don't give off the bad carbon emissions.
