What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
I really like and am proud that I work in an industry providing a necessity. I don't think we could live to our current standard without power and electricity.
Natural gas is a staple in our lives today. We cook with it, warm our houses, and use AC. Natural gas makes all those things possible.
While there are other options like solar panels or wind power, I believe natural gas is the most efficient way to create electricity and power. It's cool knowing I'm part of ensuring our infrastructure works and even improves. This ensures people in the United States have power.
