                            turning out to be one of the
                            more popular petroleum fuels in the world right now. This is because when compared to
                            gasoline, diesel, or kerosene, natural gas produces far less carbon dioxide and few
                            other pollutants such as sulfur dioxide. This is part of the reason why the U.S. - one
                            of the world's largest energy consumers - has shifted its energy production to natural
                            gas in a bid to reduce carbon dioxide emissions while still exploiting the massive
                            energy generation potential of petroleum products</p>

                                    Inflation/Interest Rates Hedge: Historically, rising inflation has been correlated with
                                    higher oil prices, offering investors a potential portfolio hedge by investing in oil
                                    and gas stocks. Typically, the Federal Reserve raises interest rates to tackle
                                    inflation, aiming to lower consumer demand. According to Bob Iaccino, co-founder of Path

                                    Tax Advantages: Investing in oil and gas stocks provides investors and producers with a
                                    range of unique tax benefits. Some key advantages include the favorable way active and
                                    passive income is treated and the deduction of certain drilling and lease costs. For
                                    instance, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax code considers earnings from oil and
                                    gas royalties as passive income while categorizing net losses as active income. This may
                                    enable some investors to offset their production revenue losses from other forms of
                                    income, such as capital gains.
