The depth and breadth of your jealousy is amazing.

Both of individual Americans of the type and quality your country has never created and you can never hope to be, and a country that is a modern force in economics, technology, military and social significance that yours has never been and won't ever be.

Well, cheer up, you've got nice beaches and a cool rock to go stare at with the tourists, enjoy what you have and don't be so hard on the boy. After all, he's got your DNA so the odds are already stacked against him right from the get go.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('theluckycountry', 'A') surge in export demand, coupled with growing domestic power needs, is expected to drive U.S. benchmark Henry Hub natural gas prices higher as resources become exhausted, two experts told NGI.

Well the "experts" got it right this time.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]Why U.S. Natural Gas Prices Are Surging to Three-Year Highs

U.S. natural gas futures have climbed above $5 per MMBtu for the first time since 2022, driven by a potent mix of deep winter cold and surging export flows. Prices have risen more than 70% since mid-October as a polar vortex tightens the market and heating demand accelerates
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-u-na ... 00837.html

70% That's a price hike alright :?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he U.S. is a major supplier of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to the UK, especially since 2022, when Europe sought alternatives to Russian pipeline gas, with the UK often a top destination for U.S. LNG exports


Ahhh, supporting old England because of the Ukraine war. Brave little American LNG ships sailing over to keep the poms warm. Like I've said here 100 times, the U.S. is just a vassal state of England, always sending it's dues to the colonial masters, the Bankers of the city of London :P

That's why you're paying 70% more, so pay, and be proud americans supporting English homes Ukraine.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'U')S natural gas futures fell to $3.33/MMBtu after Monday’s 7.6% surge, which had been driven by record flows to LNG export plants and forecasts for colder weather boosting heating demand. Weather models show colder-than-normal conditions across much of the US through January 28, with the coldest period expected around January 18-20, supporting near-term demand. Meanwhile, LNG exports remain at record levels

Appalachian NatGas Output Faces "Intense Losses" As Arctic Blast Drives Power Grid Risk Higher

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'R')ecall Winter Storm Uri in 2021, when extreme cold paralyzed the NatGas supply and collapsed the ERCOT grid in Texas for a week. A scenario like that could be in play in parts of the eastern US, regions where power grids are already tight because of bad 'green' energy policies colliding with the era of data centers.

What's going on here, with the weather? Global warming. "Lol lol lol, you idiot! It's cold not hot." Yes well it's like a split system A/C unit, pardon the analogy. It makes you're home cold inside by pumping a ton of hot air out into the environment. What's happening here is warm air masses are traveling far north over the Pacific ocean and pushing into the arctic, they are displacing the cold air masses there and pushing them away, down across places like North America. I happens every few years now, "Weather Weirding." as some have called it.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')ur risk assessment suggests that the combination of dangerously cold air and a major winter storm could cascade into a severe power grid risk. Freeze-offs and power outages across the Appalachian region could materially disrupt NatGas flows to power plants at the exact moment demand is peaking.

Of course if you have a Gasoline powered car you're still mobile. A Battcar? :lol:
But don't worry, it's all part of the battcar experience. You get to live life like it was in the 1800's. Like James Howard Cuntseller's "Retro Utopia", but without the horses and the Coal.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')The second and far more profound omission is that the geology of gas shale varies widely across both America and the world, so that to extrapolate from the best - Texas Barnett shale - to the world is like saying we should be able to grow bananas in Norway just because they grow in India.


The Barnett Shale ended up being a pimple on the butt of real shale gas. Amateurs never saw the Appalachian Basin, Permian Basin of Haynesville Shale coming because....wait for it.....they never knew any geology in the first place.

Read it and weep like Peak Oilers did over light/tight oil Mcgowanjm. They didn't know squat about natural gas either.

Coal doesn't suffer manic price fluctuation in Winter, the price is the same. It doesn't need special pipes, or pressurized storage tanks, it doesn't leak and explode. Oh it has it's uses, BBQs and Caravans, plumbers use it to heat copper. But run an electricity grid on it? Only idiots would do that.

NatGas Jumps 75% As Extreme Cold, Blizzard Risks Threaten Appalachian Gas Supply
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'U')S natural gas futures are ripping higher, up roughly 75% in just three trading days, and are on pace to post the largest weekly gain on record.

I guess that's on top of the 70% hike earlier?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')ower Generation Mix: Natural gas is the primary fuel for electricity generation in the U.S. (used for 40-50% of generation). When natural gas prices spike, electricity prices rise immediately.

Unbelievable! From an Ozzie perspective that is. Our electricity prices might go up ( they haven't for a few years) but there is like a month or more's warning. In Queensland all electricity generation is controlled by the State. They subbie out the billing but they control the coal, the generation, and all the maintenance. It's why we don't have blackouts except like when a Cyclone goes through and that's just region specific.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('theluckycountry', '[')b]Appalachian NatGas Output Faces "Intense Losses" As Arctic Blast Drives Power Grid Risk Higher.


Published 01/25/2026
Power plant outages surge
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')OSTON, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Outages surged along the eastern United States on Sunday as constricted natural gas supplies and frigid temperatures cut the electricity output of the region’s generation fleet.

The PJM Interconnection, the largest U.S. regional grid that serves 67 million people in the East and Mid-Atlanic, reported nearly 21 gigawatts of generation outages, with most of that capacity being forced offline... Without native supplies of natural gas, the Eastern seaboard relies on a pipeline network that is historically constricted during extended bouts of frigid weather...

Meanwhile, power prices in PJM and the electric grids for New York and New England surged between $400 and $700 per MWh Sunday afternoon, grid operators reported. The increases reflected demand that continues to top grid operator forecasts. With constricted natural gas access, nearly 40% of the New England grid’s output came from oil-fired power plants. Natural gas, usually the grid’s main source of fuel, accounted for just 30% of the grid’s fuel source for power plants.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('zoidberg', 'I')s there any relationship between the amount of natural gas flared and the rate of production from an oil field? Or is it a characteristic unique to each oil field?

Told you so.

NatGas Rips Higher As Arctic Blast Knocks 12% Of U.S. production Offline
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he supply shock is now cascading into the power system, pressuring regional grids and prompting the Department of Energy to issue emergency orders allowing utilities in the PJM Interconnection and across the Northeast to operate fossil-fuel power plants at maximum capacity. As heating demand spikes, oil, coal, and NatGas generation are providing a majority of the supply, preventing widespread rolling blackouts across the eastern half of the country.

It's important to note that fossil fuel power generation and nuclear saved PJM from collapse. So much for solar and wind...
https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/post- ... -blackouts

Dodged a bullet so far, thanks to fossil fuels, but not out of the woods yet.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he major winter storm that dumped heavy snow and ice across much of the eastern US is finally over, but the cold-weather danger is far from over. Roughly 185 million Americans remain under winter alerts today as Arctic air continues to pour deep into the central and eastern states. Wind chills are dropping into the minus 20s and minus 30s in some areas, with temperatures running 10 to 40 degrees below seasonal averages.

But Batteries!!! We just need to invest several Billion in Big Lipo. Unfortunately those systems are designed to bridge the gap for a night, or 24h at best. To build them to last 3 or 4 days...
Now where is Kub?

According to a report released last week by the National Energy Assistance Directors, heating prices are expected to rise by 9.2% in the 2025-2026 winter vs. one year ago. Electricity costs are expected to rise $12.2%

SO what? America is RICH isn't it? All that Coal and the world's largest producer of oil and all that? American's can easily absorb this, and higher Gasoline and food prices too, with all the money flowing down into the consumer's pockets from their abundant natural resource sales.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('vampyregirl', 'O')rman Lange field in the Norwegian Sea has three wells currently producing and 20 more planned. It has a potential output of 70 million cubic metres per day. By 2010 it will be supplying 20% of britains gas demand and will eventually be supplying gas to other European nations such as France and Germany.
Natural gas fields are under development in the eastern Meditteranean as well.
The Pearl GTL should be completed by 2010. It will be by far the largest Syndiesel plant in the world and will be producing 260k bpd of syndiesel for the European market.
In China fields are being developed and there is a project to extract Methane gas from coal beds. China is also buying large amounts of LNG from Australia. Increasing natural gas use is a priority for the Chinese government who want to reduce dependence on coal burning.
Japanese Mitsubishi Corporation has bought a fairly large share in the Sakhalin Island project in Siberia. This allows Mitsubishi Electric to have there own LNG source instead of having to buy it from other energy producers.
Whats the point of this post? Nothing really, just a little news if anyone is interested


Nice list. However, some exceptional folks, say Americans, can just go drill wells into crappy rock and bury themselves, and the world, in natural gas. Pipsqueak countries are jealous of course, but that is just because they know they can't ever be exceptional at...anything.

Appalachia, the Haynesville region and the Permian OIL basin ALL make more gas than little retarded countries.

Snow plows run on Oil btw, Diesel to be precise, and that's heavy oil, one thing the US doesn't have a lot of hence it has to import so much oil. But I imagine not many are out and about at the moment, they'll just be sitting in their pine-frame dogboxes wondering how they will pay their electricity and Gas bills.

Too bad Biden didn't keep his promises, they could all be powering their homes off Big Lipo batteries :lol: :lol: :lol:

Note to self: "Order a couple of loads of split hardwood for the coming Winter." Always easier to get in the Summer. It's so nice to live in a country where it doesn't snow all over the place. Just up in the mountains down south, something to keep the skiers content. I couldn't imagine not being able to ride my motorcycles for a week, or for months :?
