Ive been reading similar stories for a month or so. Interesting and scary at the same time, world wide. In our country all the switching to NG is starting to cause the expecting problems we have all been talking about for a while. Coal is still needed and may not be a dirty word much longer.

We Called It Regarding This Meteoric Switch To This Fuel Source Known As Natural Gas And It's Ramifications... We weren't blind. I take no solace in seeing these ignorant results. I do gain solace in knowing that We simply continue to support "Da' Black Rocks"...

About every ten years or so. Late 90's oil was a little over a buck delivered. Slow rise from there and then the *censored* really hit the fan when Katrina came along. I know there is lot people that were on here switched to fully using gas and I don't blame them but I hope they kept the coal unit in reserve.
For those of you not around during Katrina to 2008 there was a years wait for some units. I think Leisure Line had 30 employees working and they couldn't keep up with the demand.
In any event I can support a few thousand active users, there won't be any waiting line here.
