Natural gas is a nonrenewable source of energy used primarily
for heating and generating electricity. The U.S. produces natural
gas from wells within the U.S. but also imports natural gas
from abroad. The U.S. imports natural gas via pipeline from
Canada and Mexico, but to move natural gas from countries that
are further away, the natural gas is turned into a liquid (also
called "Liquefied Natural Gas" or LNG) by supercooling
and transported as a liquid on tankers before being warmed up
and turned into a gas upon arrival in the United States.
