Wouldn't come as a big surprise if there were some delivery problems with NG by the end of the winter. There's only 2 ways to address the ng wreck - the first is a big increase in LNG, the second the use of HO, where possible. In the NE many places have the ability to use both, although I suspect many have made the switch. The LNG terminals currrently in use are owned by;Cabot corp (Boston), and CMS Energy (Lake Charles). The two idle ports are owned by Williams Co (maryland) and El Paso Energy co (savannah). The last I heard they wouldn't reopening until 2001. LNG imports come primarily from Algeria, Trinidad, Nigeria, and now Australia. It's possible that ng, at some point this year, exceeds the price of oil.
