John Harpole is the president of Mercator Energy. We're going to discuss an issue which, for reasons I don't understand, isn't getting nearly enough attention: the massive increase in the price of natural gas in this country. It's every bit as much as the increase in gasoline prices in the past couple of years, maybe slightly less than diesel prices, and MUCH more than oil prices. I think many Americans don't understand the importance of natural gas to our economy. It's involved in things that go far far beyond cooking your food and heating your home.

For one great reminder about the usefulness of natural gas (and they hypocrisy of its critics), check out the wonderful video from Chris Wright, the CEO of Liberty Energy, about The North Face...that's at the end of this blog note.
