While natural gas was cheaper than home heating oil last winter, did you know oil heat has been cheaper than natural gas for 15 of the last 18 winters? In fact, many experts are saying that oil will be cheaper than gas over the next ten years – and here’s why.
  • First, more and more sources of oil are being discovered right here in the US. Many newspaper stories have reported that these new discoveries could make the US totally oil dependent by 2015.
  • Second, liquid natural gas is now being produced in the US for export to countries like China and India, where it is sold for 5x what it is sold for in the US. This export market has led to increased demand, which in turn means natural gas prices will skyrocket.
