there is a huge glut of NG right now - so much that SASOL is building a plant in So. La. to turn it into liquid fuel (synfuels... finally)

so yes, energy costs should go down

NG is also killing off coal plants and hindering PV solar and wind energy plans

the technology to get at the shale beds is what has changed everything - yes, Fred you are in the middle of an industrial operation; hope it does not affect you too much
