If you heat with NG, it also means you will suffer increased costs due to the increased demand from the electric power plants burning NG.

Residential Natural Gas prices have trended down across the US. I see the Supply from Shale being a greater influence than the increases in Natural Gas Electric Power generation.

Just wait till the power companies can’t use coal any longer.....
The amount of NG those turbines consume is positively staggering.

I have done some design and construction for what I used to think were large turbines in Pipeline Gas Compression...
About 1/10th the size of these.

"Wood burning stoves making a comeback."
Well, that would be nice, but instead they are being made illegal.

440,000 HP! What is keeping GE from slapping on four tires and hauling one of these off to Bonneville? Imagine the publicity!

I kinda envy you then...I would have liked to work on these when I retired from the USAF.
I always wondered what these guys looked like...didn’t think they would be that different from a jet engine...
Probably operate on the same principles with one notable exception...GO.

It needs the equivalent NatGas fuel that would be delivered to a medium-sized city in the Northern tier of states.
