Two different commodities, two different supply and demand curves. Oil to Natural Gas Ratio is Voodoo economics. They both produce heat when burned and that's about it.

Chew on this Chu! Natural Gas is abundant, inexpensive, clean-burning and not imported. I'd be checking his credentials if he can't figure that one out. Where is the problem with promoting it? I might say that he might be dumber that a box of rocks, but that wouldn't be kind, so I won't.

There shouldn't be any "mean" to go back to. Oil and Natural Gas have only one thing in common. When they burn they create heat. Why we ever had a ratio based on BTU's created is beyond my understanding. They are two different commodities and should be treated as such. Their price reflects the supply and demand of each one and not the relationship to each other.

They are two different commodities and both have their own supply and demand ratios. I have never understood why their BTU relationship has anything to do with the price of eggs in China. It's Voodoo economics. Natural Gas has yet to be discovered by the Obama administration as the best alternative fuel to oil. It's clean, abundant, inexpensive, and it's already here. Let's get on with it.
