I read it. Demand/supply imbalance is, and always has been, a big part of the picture. We have low demand now because we had a mild winter in most of the country. That can easily rebound with the widely predicted hotter than normal summer. Natural gas generates electricity to run a/c as well as heat. As do competitive components such as coal and nuclear power.

The key problem is that we have a regime which makes decisions based on political whim and emotions (coal is dirty, nuclear is unsafe, natural gas causes global warming) rather than sound economics.

I don’t disagree with you. I just copied you in since you were copied on the blast to me.
