"My first cab drive in Rio was from the airport to my hotel. Although the car ran out of gas, this didn’t upset me because I saw something that was totally unexpected.  The taxi ran on natural gas. It cost 3 cents per kilowatt hour. Oil costs 5 cents per KWH. Kilowatt hours are a unit of measurement that shows the amount of energy that materials like natural gas, oil, and coal can produce. Natural gas is made up of a number of compounds including methane. Although methane is a potent greenhouse gas, it's better than carbon dioxide because it breaks up in the atmosphere after 12 years while CO2 affects the environment for 100 to 500 years after it is released."
