      Comments Off on Bottini Fuel Discusses The Environmental Impact Of Propane

Introduction

We live in a world that we only get one chance at making it right. That’s right, there are not mulligan’s, do-overs, respawns, or better luck next times. Bottini Fuel has known this for quite some time. That is why over 60 years ago we got into the propane market. We have long known that propane is the cleanest and most efficient fuel that we can use. It is for that reason that we come to you today to share with you some of the reasons that we think you should consider making the switch to propane.

The Truth

Often times, propane will get a bad name due to the new way of getting it, fracking. In fact, this is just one of many ways that we get propane. It just happens to be the newest way. We are not going to say that there have not been setbacks or lessons learned along the way, but we will tell you that it is getting better. Not every technology was perfect from the start. If we look at cars that we have today and compare them to the cars in the past, they are leaps and bounds better. Even hydro-electric had its stumbling blocks. The fact that it is a new technology means we will have some mistakes, but if we learn from them, we can make the retrieval of propane cleaner than it is today.

Facts

There is no arguing that propane is a clean and efficient fuel. In fact, it not only meets but exceeds the basic requirements for clean fuel. Propane is not only clean it its unused state, but it is also non-toxic and non-caustic. That means that if it happens to leak into the ground, it will not kill you. Also, if it comes in contact with another surface, it will not destroy it. The only thing that you have to worry about on a major spill is that some plants and nearby vegetation may freeze. The truth of the matter is, no matter how much is spilled, there is little to no environmental impact. This is not only true at the collection site, but also in residential areas where trucks make millions of gallons of deliveries each year.

Additional Facts

Here are some additional facts that should be considered in regard to propane.

  1. Propane has not, is not, and will never be considered a greenhouse gas.
  2. Propane poses no threat to the ecosystems of saltwater, freshwater, or any underwater marine life. The same cannot be said about other fuels.
  3. Propane will not contaminate the drinking water reserves that exist all over the country.
  4. The vapor that derives from burning propane has not, does not, and never will lead to air pollution. It is not even considered a form of air pollution by any safety board.
  5. There is no harm to humans, birds, or other animals that breath it.
