Why are natural gas prices getting higher each year? Well we have an expanding population and increased needs and indeed, we have not worked hard enough to drill for new natural gas deposits or built the correct infrastructures to collect it. There are many reasons for this. Some has to do with over regulation of the industry, some has to do with environmental lawsuits from the far left, which claims it hurts the environment. Yet if we do not collect it and use it will seep out of the ground anyway.

Natural Gas is a clean burning fuel and we ought to use as much as we can over other types of fuels do to its friendly environmental displacement. This year we will have a big problem and the situation is already getting worse in the Northeast as the weather has been rough already and it is still very early in the season.

With the cost of heating fuel and the cost of gasoline this is going to further hurt American families in the Northern States. We need to stop these incessant lawsuits blocking the forward progress of our nation and our countries important commercial infrastructures or we will have the Ayn Rand effect. People will freeze to death, industry will stop and prices will go out of control due to simple supply and demand. Think about it.
