Re: US gas imports - another view (4.00 / 2)

On the other hand, gas storage is difficult and expensive. In the UK, there was much more seasonality in production (ie production was much lower in the summer, and storage was down "in the reservoirs"), but that does not seem to be the case in the US.

True. I suppose that at some lever having production capacity far above consumption is a type of storage, because the "spigot" can be turned on to affect spot prices.

Looking at the EIA data.

Residential consumption has been steady. Full sector numbers are only available since 1997, but they still tell a story.

Hmm. I wonder what's driving up consumption and costs.

Is methane harder or easier to store than ammonia?
