Natural Gas Tops Power Gen Charts

The general consensus among the baseball cognoscenti is that Babe Ruth is the greatest to ever play the game. This despite the fact that he no longer holds the single season home run record or the all-time home run record.

The man who broke his record as the all-time home run king, Hank Aaron, had incredible consistency. Though he never hit 50 or more home runs in a season, he also never hit less than 10 homers in a season in a career that spanned 23 years. That incredible consistency allowed Hammerin’ Hank to pass the Babe.

A similar level of consistent output is resulting in natural gas solidifying its hold as the dominant source of power generation in the U.S. Natural gas took the crown from coal in 2016 and the gulf between these two energy sources is widening with every passing year.
