Not long ago, we thought that interlocking finances between countries would bring less chance of war. Europe thought it was safe to get gas from Russia because they thought Russia would be too dependent on the revenue to go rogue. Why would Russia, who relies on the revenue from gas, risk

Shouldn’t there be a cost benefit analysis for both these actions? I believe that analysis said that the environmental cost of the pipeline was too great. The short term cost of the release was reasonable. You have given one action in the totality of many that are not in the control of the

The assertion has been made here on LT that: “The reality is that US Presidents have very little influence over energy prices, . . .” I refer readers to this CNBC (not a right-wing news outlet) report: “Joe Biden this year revoked a key permit needed for a U.S. stretch of the 1,200-mile

The EIA also forecasts a drop in Henry hub natural gas prices. But who knows. I expect we're going to be exporting lots of LNG to Europe to make up for their refusal to support the Russian invasion of the Ukraine. Note also since our electric system is about 50% based on natural gas generators,

I suspect the price increase has less to do with National Grid's profit margins than with the price of natural gas supplies in the US. [image: image.png] from https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=52698 On Fri, Aug 12, 2022 at 4:41 PM Christina Thompson <

I just had a conversation with someone at National Grid about my gas bill and was told that, yes, there had been a price increase. Apparently the price of gas in March 2021 was $.58/therm. In March 2022 it was $.94/therm. I haven't seen much talk about it, but this strikes me as an outrageous rate
