Cut offs are for the low cost buyer willing to take a risk and be shut
down. This only happens in cold weather when demand goes very high
during a particularly cold period. It is not a matter of having the
gas, it is the ability to move it to where needed. Shut one smallish
industrial boiler down and 100 houses have more to use.


You say that like it's a bad thing?


No, just pointing that it is a "thing", another option. It is just
not so simple as compared to the small home or business user. With a
mild winter, it is a good thing with no down time.


Sure, but it allows the market to decide priorities. I see that as a *good*
thing. No down-side at all.
