Since I think natural gas is harder to transport across oceans I’m guessing most natural gas consumed in the US is produced nearby in the US, Alaska, and Canada. If the growing economies of China and India are pushing up world wide oil prices, it seems less plausible that this same effect could effect [...]

This would prevent the severe price gouging that we have undergone with oil. Imagine if natural gas prices rose this much in winter! People would freeze to death.
