Abstract: Ralph Waldo Emerson was once asked, what is a weed? He replied, A weed is a plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered. The early history of natural gas in the United States can be compared to the weed, because its potential as an energy source lay undiscovered, and when discovered, for a time unwanted. It was not until 1821 that natural gas became a primary energy source. That year marked the successful completion of the first well sunk in search of natural gas in Fredonia, New York. A few years later in 1868 natural gas was used in industry for the first time by an Oil-Weil Supply Firm in Erie, Pennsylvania. The utilization of those capabilities culminated in the highly efficient continental transmission network in the 1940s. The framework of the natural gas industry was approaching adulthood, and there seemed to prevail over the land an unspoken but nurtured belief, nothing heats like a gas flame.
