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.

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

Because it is useful and convenient, and not too expensive.
should we use natural gas and oil
yes it is natural gas is ethical
What kind of companies use natural gas in California?
Industry is the largest use of natural gas.
Many buildings are heated by natural gas
There are quite a few ways that natural gas can be used. Many people use natural gas to heat their homes.
Yes, you will save money on your heating and cooking bills by switching to natural gas. Natural gas is much cheaper to use. The majority of gas appliance now have electronic ignitions for their pilot lights so the using natural gas will cost you even less.
