Not to worry ..... Light a fire in the fireplace, bundle up, wear layers of clothes, use extra blankets and consider using electric blankets.

It IS a problem. There once was a thriving business for natural gas fired turbine-generators to allow businesses to offset the price of energy by generating their own. That market has disappeared because of the uncertainty (higher) natural gas prices.

I'm shocked! The Law of Supply and Demand is at work in America, again!

Didn't the Democrats attempt to repeal this law before the Senate changed hands?

No-one seems to bitch when their gas rates are pennies on the therm in the summer. If you're still really indignant, pull out your December A/C bill - it's startling... [/sarcasm]

Most Americans want cheap natural gas, but they don't want oil companies drilling for it anywhere near them. Nor do they want to have ports built to import liquified natural gas.

The brainwashing by the liberals and enviromental activists is almost complete.

[Wright is right!]

Once again, the Law Of Supply And Demand is NEWS to USA Toady.(correct spelling) This is "dog-bites-man."

What WOULD be news is if the price of gas FELL along with dropping temperatures - ("Watch for falling prices...")

By the way, did you know that there's a city in China named Usa? (its English translation) The Chinese have several factories there making exports, and they stamp their goods "Made In USA." Or they DID until Commerce complained and made them stop. But it's no joke. "Made In USA" was NOT the same as "Made In The U.S.A."

As for a close source of natural gas & oil, there is an under-sea gas bed off the coast of Vancouver Island BC, Just north of Washington State.

But I have a GAS fireplace! The original owner of my house was the president of the local gas company so everything (including the air conditioner) is natural gas. My latest bill was up 50% from the previous period.

And yes, it's cold here in Michigan!
