The north east has very little natural gas available. No pipelines like there are in other parts of the country. That's why we have so much heating oil. Outside of the north east and pockets here and there, nobody else knows what heating oil is. New nuclear tech isn't like the old 3 mile island, chernobyl, etc. Smaller plants can be built and the tech is much better. No electricity anywhere in the US should be generated by fossil fuel. save that for gas and diesel. Nuclear plants should supply most of our power. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I guess its time for some eminent domain to build the gas pipeline. Sometimes some have to suffer for the greater good. Pretty sure they can get to PA through mostly woods 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also "think" in our country, we only produce about 11 million barrels a day. The rest comes from other countries, Canada is our top importer, Russia is 3rd or 4th? Anyways, I dont think we will see instant relief, you are talking months, yes, we things get resolved (hopefully), price drops happen, its also the other countries, that produce, but all over the world it effects all. I was telling my wife last night, "do you want to hear some trivia on gas"? She gave me a look like "F/U", well I said oil that is traded on the market also known has a barrel is about 49 gallons, it take half of that almost to produce about 21 gallons of gas, I have no idea on diesel etc. She then told be , I just put $30.00 in my car @ $4.49 per. gallon...........I get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After such a large upward move in a very short time, it is to be expected to see a pullback. That said, heading towards higher seasonal demand as we head to summer, I wouldn’t be surprised to see prices trend back up unless we see major deescalation in Europe. It’s going to take a while to get new capacity online too. Now, if we have another credit crisis or steep recession, then that’s another matter. It may be the only cure frankly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
