Natural gas are trading at a low cost. There is a 90 year supply of natural gas in the good ol' USA. PSNH have converted all coal and oil plants to natural gas except for the Bow plant. I was told that was going to be converted as well. The railroad will close the Bow line as PSNH is their biggest customer. A natural gas line needs to be built from Portsmouth and Portsmouth is making plans to build a bigger facility. Most of the natural gas for NH and VT are piped from Portland. There is a natural gas line proposal from Canada to Texas.

The automobile manufacturers have test vehicles on the road burning natural gas. With low BTU rating, the cars/trucks have a very limited range. I was told that to fill a car with LNG for range requires an overnight filling.

Natural gas is a serious contender for the future.
