I agree completely - look at the correlation between PJM-W and HHNG between 2007 and 2008 alone; it went from 94 % to 68 % on a two year rolling sampling rate !!!

Power needs a good market maker in the forwards , risky, but I think some bank would take it on...... I think long run its better than just putting on big positions via heat rates or otherwise.
Quote from Bob111:
i don't think that there is a lot of downside in NG. what's their profit margin? imo the spread between NG and CL is pretty big and NG can move the cars just fine w\o any huge modifications. we use to have a fleet of cars running on LP in Russia back in 80's-90's. no problems whatsoever. dunno why it take so long in USA to make the switch. same for diesel,instead of experimenting with pathetic\useless hybrids. give us more options.

Quote from misterno:
In russia or europe it makes sense to use LPG or CNG instead of gasoline because of the price difference
but that price differene does not exist in US, so propane or LPG whatever you call it, that will never be used in cars in the USA
The reason it makes sense in europe it is because gasoline is taxed much higher than propane.
Quote from Candace:
I bought natural gas today at $3.59. I think today we make a higher low and don't retest the lows made in October (under $3.50). We are past the shoulder season slump, weather should cool down in NY, the rig count just out is bullish (gas rigs declining, oil rigs increasing), Honda is coming out with a nat gas vehicle in December, and Platts put out a tepidly bullish article.
