Report Excerpt: The Natural Gas Market: Demand Exceeds Supply - Nowhere to Go But Up?

The Energy Policy Act that was recently signed into action by President Bush in early August contains provisions directed towards increasing the supply of natural gas, encouraging new exploration as well as providing tax incentives towards new construction of pipelines, in hopes of reducing the current disparity as demand continues to exceed supply.

Cooper & Company, essentially began with the Clean Air Energy Act, which restricted the construction of new electrical plants that ran on oil or coal. Continued pressure on gas prices grew as utilities, industrials and consumers began switching to natural gas to take advantage of its cost efficiencies and clean burning attributes. Other factors such as record price levels for oil, recent heat waves and harsh winters have also contributed to increased demand for natural gas.
