OMFG! After reading this AP press release. I can understand why the people in California are screaming mad.
<< Californians paid $6.6 billion for natural gas in 1999, $12.3 billion last year, and $7.9 billion this year through March, the report says. At one point there was a 2,795 percent difference between the price of gas at its source in the Southwest and its cost at the California border. >>
2795% markup for natural gas?!?! I could understand 500%, people gotta make some money, but 2795% is insane! :|
I wonder if similar studies will find increases like that for natural gas in the midwest and heating oil in the northeast...
