Well said. You might, also, have added the possible dark sides of the issue though. One in that a shortage creates mass buying at premium costs, and two, is it a shortage or an invented effort advertised by those that would profit created by cancelling the source availability while placing themselves in the line of profit? An example is in the Ukraine with Burisma.
We don’t know how many people have got their hands in the pot in this country. But you can probably guess that there are a lot of natural gas and petroleum futures already in the pockets of select people that have the ability to manipulate them. And they hunt in packs so there are probably a lot of them.
