>>>Natty plays still look OK to me, at least until September. They'll look a lot better with a hurricane or three.....<<< One big hurricane through the major Gulf of Mexico producing areas and gasoline will spike to over $5.00 overnight (refinery damage, plus cutoff of some crude supplies). NG could hit $20 easily, too. And only you and I know that. <G>

I was going to call this "Banks March Us Into Depression," or maybe more fitting is . . . "Complete Collapse of US Banking System." Folks, that is what we are looking at. I don't see any way around it. What we're seeing here in Florida, is your crystal ball. And what happens here, is coming to a town near you . . . soon. This past week I didn't write anything, because what I am seeing unravel is disturbing to the point I had to question what I was seeing and hearing. So I decided to take as much time as I needed to digest it all, and then put something together for you. So here goes . . .

When I built this house 4 years ago I used 2x12's for the exterior walls, and filled them with R30 insulation. Everyone told me I was stupid for spending so much extra money, almost $3,000 more, on something that wouldn't matter when I sold the home. Even my parents and inlaws thought I was nuts, especially when I further insulated the attic to R70+ The house is soundproofed, which IMHO is a major benefit. We spent less than $500 on heat last winter, and house was warm. Parents spent $2000+ to heat same sized house, and their house was always cold. Inlaws also spent over $1500 last winter on heating a much smaller house. Not looking so stupid these days to people (at least not for that!). The savings have already more than paid for up front cost. One other little benefit. While everyone else needs 18,000+ BTU central A/C units to cool their homes we us a strategically placed 5,000 BTU window unit to cool the entire house. That's a couple hundred more dollars saved every summer. Funniest part is, our neighbors think we pay a fortune in energy bills because our house is on the big size for the neighborhood. In actuality our bills are about half the normal for the drafty old homes here.

Yes, forget US LNG, we will never see any. Asia and Europe will take it all. I'm betting on Papua New Guinea LNG (Interoil- IOC). There is an unbelievable LNG frenzy going on in that corner of the world. In northeastern Australia there are 5 separate LNG projects in the works - based on coal seam gas of all things. Petronas and BG are paying amazing prices for gas reserves for LNG deals. Off western Australia you've got Woodside's Pluto project and Chevron's Gorgon project. And don't forget all the Indonesian projects. LNG is the new new thing.
