Chapter 22 A Very Short History of American Natural Gas and Regulatory Stupidity MET 321 Ian Markon March 25 th, 2013 Power Hungry by Robert Bryce

Natural Gas – The Early Years Oil = Cash Easy to store Easy to transport Easy to deal with dangers Natural Gas = Trash Cheap by-product of oil industry Difficult to transport Blows up! Late 19 th century to late 1940’s Improvements in welding and pipe-forming technology slowly make transport of abundant natural gas more feasible.

Natural Gas – The Boom 1947 – Flaring of natural gas made illegal in Texas If you can’t burn it, sell it! 1949 to 1957 – U.S. natural gas consumption doubles 1958 – Natural gas overtakes coal to become second-largest primary energy source in U.S. Late 1940’s to 1958

Natural Gas – The Regulation 1950’s to – Phillips Petroleum Co. v. Wisconsin; federal government given power to set interstate natural gas prices 1970’s – Natural gas shortages produced by government regulations put thousands out of work as utility companies were forced to choose between their customers 1978 – Federal government passes Industrial Fuel Use Act and Natural Gas Policy Act; coal booms as natural gas is regulated out of the electricity-production industry (irony?) and natural gas production plummets

Natural Gas – The Recovery 1987 to Present 1987 – Federal government begins deregulating natural gas; market slowly begins to recover Natural Gas Reserves 1989 – 168 trillion cubic feet of proven gas reserves 2008 – 237 trillion cubic feet of proven gas reserves Over that twenty year period, the U.S. used 390 trillion cubic feet of natural gas “The more gas the nation produces, the more gas it finds” -- Bryce

Questions Q – Have government regulations on natural gas proven beneficial or detrimental? Q – Is the U.S. running out of natural gas?
