Good point about the supply trains of fuel. Wasn’t it Patton in Africa that had to rely on the fuel left behind by the Germans that he was chasing?

And I figured 8 years was too low. But I sure would hate to be the guy to forecast the price of natural gas out to 30 years or whatever.

I tried looking up what time frame they made their decisions on. I couldn’t find anything easily. Did see the following comment:

“The outlook for natural gas remains positive despite uncertainty.”

Like I said - I’m glad I’m not the guy making the forecasts and the big money decisions!
