energy complex is ripe for serious price rises
in fact, natural gas is up in price by 40% since Jan2002
that is right, 40%
Puplava harps on it occasionally
from $3.50 to $4.80 per unit (million BTU?)

the Venezuela mess has the potential to disrupt the crude oil markets as labor strife, political coup, and maybe drug cartel activity could add to the disruption

by the way, a BTU is an arcane British Thermal Unit
the energy necessary to raise a gallon of water one degree Fahrenheit
the rest of the world doesnt care about gallons or Fahrenheit
never stopped the British though, nor Americans
