From what I got from it, it says that the new technology (fracking) has cause an explosion in NG extraction - so fast that we don't have the infrastructure to export it. This has resulted in stockpiles of gas, and that's the reason for the very low prices. Gas in Japan and Europe is still $16/per cubic foot ... or something like that - it's very high compared to our costs. Obama holds all the permits for export facility construction - he is playing favorites with the leverage he has in holding those permits over their heads. As of right now, there is only ONE facility exporting gas in the entire country! If the permits are granted, several more will come on line, and the price will steadily rise. Maybe he's waiting till after the winter so no one notices.
The other part of this I heard, is that this same technology is being used to extract oil. Due to our ability to retrieve oil from previously impossible locations, the USA is now sitting on a potential reserve 3x the size of Saudi Arabia! We see the current activity in ND is proving this to be true. Once things get going, the price of oil will plummet the same as gas did (boy I can't wait for that to happen!!!), and the new-found wealth will change this country in ways that we never imagined. This is how Obama will try for a 3rd term, and probably win. Even though the stage was set for this boom under Bush, he'll take all the credit.
This advisor has a track record of being correct 90% of the time, so I hope they're right - just not on the 3rd term stuff.
The Aubuchon price by the pallet, however, is about the same as they are asking on Cape Cod, $425 per ton. The lowest I have seen in the coastal region lately is $320 per ton bagged and that involves some driving and hauling. The large garden centers that handle a lot of solid fuels are coming in at around $380 a ton.
