An opinion piece by RENEW Wisconsin Executive Director Michael Vickerman from the Capital Times, November 1, 2005:
It is looking as if 2005 will close the cheap natural gas era in the United States, very likely forever. A commodity that in 2001 was available at the bargain basement level of $2.50 per dekatherm, natural gas has become steadily more expensive. It passed the $5 threshold in 2003, $7.50 in January 2005, $9 in early August, and is now hovering at $12.50. This quintupling of price will usher in wrenching changes in a country where over half of its residences are heated with this versatile yet nonrenewable fuel.
