If I were to need propane that necessity would cost $4.50 a gallon. A few weeks ago I filled at what I thought was a high price of $2.35. This is unprecedented to my recollection. I've seen no stories at national level but that means little if anything. This is huge.WHY??
It's all right here -
The Missouri Propane Gas Association said the rising costs were caused by higher exports and increased domestic demand due to colder weather and large crop yields. It said propane production has risen because of improved fracking technology, which caused companies to seek more overseas buyers. That leaves less available domestically.
This is sick shit and there's probably fair amount of credibility here and if so that should be criminal but like always nothing will happen.
They do things like this because they know from the beginning there will be no accountability. Like the killer bush bastards and Irak.
It gets soooo old!
The propane industry is placing profit over people.

The same thing will happen with gasoline. More drilling and better mpg cars has lowered prices 70cents the last 2 years, but they are making contracts with foreign customers and seeking approval to export more. This will drive the price back up for us. Barclay's bank said so today, exporting will return us to those $4 or higher days. Energy independence can never be achieved until we get off fossil fuel and start using the sunshine and wind that lands free in our own neighborhood, or our own yard.
ReplyDeleteWe are already there, fringe. In 2012, fuel was our number ONE export.
DeleteUntil is a huge word these days when it comes to matter like this.
