<gas prices having NOTHING to do w/ oil right now. Gas can't be transported like oil. Either it comes from this continent and where there is a pipeline or you don't get it.>

Natural gas is indeed transported from continent to continent. The gas is first liquefied by cryrogenic methods, loaded onto special tankers, and transported to the destination where it is gasified. Probably still a relative small portion of gas consumption but growing 8% a year.
