Natural gas prices may see 58 percent leap this winter
PHIL ROONEY , Staff Writer
If you're experiencing sticker shock at the gas pump this summer, just
wait for your winter heating bill.
A 58 percent increase in natural gas prices is projected during the
November through February winter season, according to a spokesman for
MidAmerican Energy.
Aquila wasn't projecting prices that far in advance, but spokesman
Matt O'Reilly said August costs are about about 12 percent above last
year.
Natural gas for the November through February period was trading on
the New York Mercantile Exchange last week at $10.34 per mmbtu - the
measurement unit used to purchase natural gas - compared to $6.53 last
year, according to Matt Reinders, a spokesman for MidAmerican Energy.
That's a 58 percent increase.

Could be everything else is going up! Gas takes less of a percentage of
Americans paycheck today than it did when gas was $1.00 a gallon stupid!
