Furthermore, gas is the cleanest burning of the fossil fuels and is favored globally for its relatively low greenhouse gas emissions when compared with other fossil fuels. Figure 7-2 shows that new electric generating capacity installed in the US for 1990-2006 was primarily natural gas fueled. Despite the large increase in natural gas fueled power generation, coal still provides about 50 percent of the electric supply for the US, followed by nuclear at about 20 percent, and natural gas fueled power stations at about 18 percent.23 7.2.2 Natural Gas Use in California California currently consumes about 10 percent of the total natural gas used in the US – about 2.36 TCF in 2004. It is estimated that in the next decade, California will add five million people to its current population of about 35 million. The added population will need power and fuel; three-quarters of California’s electricity growth and most of the state’s natural gas growth will be driven by the need to serve these new citizens. California is particularly vulnerable to natural gas price fluctuations and supply constraints because of its reliance on out-of-state sources. Currently, about 85 percent of the consumption is provided by imports. Figure 7-3 shows a breakdown of the source of natural gas for the California market. 23 For 2004, EIA April 21, 2006 7-3
