Thursday - December 08, 2005 at 04:31 PM inGas got expensive again
The recent cold snap (we went from September to January without stopping in between) has led to a spike in natural gas prices , which are now above where they were post-hurricane (the graphs I link to seem to be updated only every few days; the Wall Street Journal reported that today's gas price closed above $15/million BTU). As per usual, futures prices are lagging. Minnegasco has set its December gas price at $1.19/therm, down $0.20/therm from November, and reflecting some (but not all) of the lower gas prices we saw up until the last week or so. But this price is still $0.20/therm above last year. I'm not too thrilled about higher gas prices, but it will make it easier to save the cost of our fireplace insert, if and when it ever gets installed. Speaking of which, we did manage to get an earlier installation date. The new date is December 20th, more than a week earlier than the prior date of December 29th. And I also reminded the scheduler that we can be flexible if there's a cancellation. Posted at 04:31 PM | Permalink | | | |
