Being in Fairbanks, I watch the price of natural gas. It has been trending up gradually. Last winter it didn't. But it's nowhere near the run-up of 2 years ago.

You are kind of in an isolated market where there is more supply than consumption and no where to export it to.

Here in So. Calif. it's a totally different story, most of our gas in imported and the enviros have shut down almost all the oil fields and forced the electric generation to natural gas (really stupid) and look forward to another energy crisis this winter here.

There is more oil and natural gas here than we can consume if the enviros would only allow it to be drilled and used.
