RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:There is always 2 sides.Here is a chart from the EIA on long term industrial consumprion of natural gas (monthly)
GFC (2008) & Covid (2020) slowdowns are clearly visible - looks like a 10% hit to consumption in each case.
Long term trend is still up.
https://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/hist/n3035us2M.htm Here is the chart for gas fired electrical power consumption.
Similar but a slightly bigger hit I would say.
https://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/hist/n3045us2m.htm Given a choice I think the US is going to try to keep a lid on oil prices since that is a politically
sensitive issue - natural gas not so much - especially now that winter is over and people will
be none the wiser if natural gas goes up - except for managble jump in thier electricity bill for many - just a hunch.
