I think most of you guys missed it. It's an ongoing thing. BOTH parties do it. This was more on the fact that business is business. If the NG companies can sell more they will be able to raise prices and will. But the whole thing is that the government is not only supporting this effort, they are doing so knowing that the outcome will be higher NG and electric cost for the consumer. And basically this proves that both parties are neck deep in doing stuff like this. Coal is dumping money into one party's coffers and NG the other.
People have mentioned solar power. It's only supplemental, not a main power source. Plus they strip mine to get the silica to make them. Right now it's not a big deal but if the US would start a program to try to put solar panels on ever roof the amounts stripped mined would be huge.
Dams with hydro power are becoming a thing of the past with tree huggers yelling about migrating fish and the amount of land covered up by water.
So right now the only way for the US to produce the power needed to run our homes and factories is with steam generated power. Nuclear, NG and coal are all doing the same job. Nuclear has gotten to the point of just being too expensive and too potentially dangerous. NG just doesn't have the BTU's of coal.
Anyone remember "cap and trade"? The whole point of cap and trade is to actually force more manufacturing off shore so as to bring the world more in line for income and standards of living. The down side is that for countries like the US it cost jobs. It's not going to raise the standard of living much in 3rd world countries but it will lower the overall standard of living in the US.
The whole point of this whole mess is politics and political agenda's. All major and some minor parties are involved so no need for name calling.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
