Our country needs to invest in renewable energy instead of relying on coal or natural gas.

Natural gas has a whole new customer base: wind energy, thus the price will rise due to the demand for it. With wind turbines in the generation mix, natural gas turbines have to be running continuously to make up for changes in wind speed. That's why natural gas producers and royalty owner say "Viva Wind Power!".

It's funny how if there's a mild winter, gas prices go up. If winter is harsh, prices go up. Here's some interesting info about natural gas, which doesn't seem to mesh very well with the rhetoric used to raise prices.

"Lower 48 working natural gas inventories as of October 31, 2012 were at an end-of-season record of 3,923 billion cubic feet...However, continued strong natural gas production ensured that inventory levels continued to grow. Both the Producing and West Regions’ inventories reached record end-of-season levels of 1,283 Bcf and 546 Bcf, respectively. Inventories in the East region reached 2,095 Bcf, which is 2.0 percent higher than that region’s five-year average."
