Winter Wonderland Natural gas remains the best value fuel for consumers this winter

摘要

At a press conference on Oct. 2, Bruce McDowell, AGA's managing director of Policy Analysis, presented his outlook for what natural gas bills might look like during the 2013-2014 winter heating season. While customer bills are likely to rise slighdy as a result of various market forces, the abundant supply of domestically available natural gas has contributed to lower production prices that, along with robust storage levels, are poised to help ensure a steady supply of energy at a lower cost than other home heating fuels. Mild temperatures should also keep any increase in natural gas bills modest, at no more than 10 percent compared to last winter.
