Steve,

As I understand it, natural gas is closely correlated to crude oil prices.

I don't know why.

Now, as far as the evil oil companies - I mean it sucks but there is the law of supply and demand to deal with (constrained supply because we haven't built new refineries to process high sulfur crude, increased demand from China etc) and the fact that we have these !@#$ing speculators pushing oil futures up into the stratosphere.

Anyhoo, it's funny (or sad) that I'm thinking of my bills in terms of whole van staal reels.

One of my neighbors, who uses natural gas to heat her home, had a whopping $700 gas bill ... for the month of December.
