The only problem with all of the above is that natural gas is currently
about $2.50, near it's twenty year low, which was ~$1.75 and that was just three
years ago. There have been periods where nat gas has spiked, but this
isn't one of them. In other words, the free market is working.

Just out of curiosity, I looked at my latest gas bill and converted
the CCF that they bill us for to therms. We used about 78 therms
before the weather got really cold. Next month's bill should be
more.

"Therms" is a dopey unit. They meter by volume, and that's what
we are billed for.

I've not received a gas bill yet in our new house so I don't know how it
is billed. When I was working, we were billed for therms. A therm is
100,000 Btu. It makes sense in the way your electric bills KW, or
energy used. Gas is the same in that respect but meters read CCF and
most people would understand that easier.
