IF this fire decreased the supply of available gas a tiny fraction of 1 percent, I’d expect the price to rise a tiny fraction of its current cost. However, profiteers will use it as an excuse to drive the price up far more than the miniscule decrease in supply merits.

Interesting. So if the supply was decreased by 50%, you'd allow a 50% increase in price?

Geez, enough.

Why don't you explain the economics behind your theory?
