4th of July is powered by oil and natural gas!

Jul 02, 2022

4th of July weekend is here! Did you know many of the products you will be using this weekend are powered by oil and natural gas?

 

1. Gas Grills

Your favorite grilled foods are being cooked on your grill thanks to the oil and natural gas industry!

 

2. Fireworks

No 4th of July is complete without fireworks. Almost all elemental sulfur (used in gunpowder) is produced as a byproduct of removing sulfur-containing contaminants from natural gas, petroleum, and other related resources.


 

3. Flags

Most flags are made with nylon. Three cheers for the red, white, and blue! 🇺🇸

 

4. Patriotic Attire

Did you know that your favorite patriotic outfit is most likely powered by the oil and natural gas industry?
