It takes thousands of hundreds of years to generate, and drilling it, storing and creating it has negative side effects to the environment. (See smoothies + fracking)

METHANEMethane makes up about 90% of natural gas compositions, and is 100% lethal Oxygen levels below 16 percent can be dangerous and levels below 10 percent can be deadly. (Livestrong.com)

(Decayed plants animals that are kept at high pressure and temperature for so long they convert to oils and other.
