and durring the transition of gas to whatever source we end up using, it WILL be rationed. and Congress? what do you think people would like more, rationing, or a complete dry up of fuel sources.
the prices arent going to go down until speculation of probable gas chrisis stop. and that speculation is just heating up.

Not that I don't follow your logic...but if the market works the say it should, and there truly is no price gouging and/or conspirasy going on; less demand for gas due to finding alternatives (be it efficiency, less usage, or altogether substitutes) SHOULD drive the price down. "Supply and demand" is the phrase that's being shoved down our throats lately, yes?
And rationing should have a more direct relation to supply, not prices. I can't see how prices would force the rationing of gas...
