Also the price will increase if allowed to start exporting as they are trying to do. Then the Speculators will also get more involved as well when the market expands, unless the Gov. Changes Energy regulations.

If we start adding more fleets, personal cars, etc. It wont last near that long and the price will sky rocket. Lets also not forget about the millions that rely on Natural Gas to heat thier homes. I hope we dont invest to deep on this as it wont be around long.
