Hello, I'm Ron Tilley, Chairman of Columbia Gas and I'd like to welcome you to this video
tour of the 1993 Columbus Parade of Homes.
On the tour you will see many innovative ideas and we believe some of the best are in the
Columbia Gas Natural Choice Homes, energy efficient homes which use natural gas everywhere
possible.
Gas has long been America's favorite energy for heating and water heating but now it's
more important than ever because natural gas is a clean energy that's better for the environment
and it's an American fuel.
Best of all, we're developing new and better ways to use gas all the time as you'll see
in this video.
Please enjoy the tour.
