Natural Gas price crash
I received a statement from Alliant Energy in my email last week that Natural Gas prices are quite low this year (See attached graph provided by Alliant Energy). I am not a person that follow commodity prices real closely but I do know that I hat my home and office with natural gas so a lower cost of natural gas this winter will give me some relief from the higher bills I paid last winter.
Oddly enough Alliant Energy also sent me an invitation to standardize my gas bill for this next year by paying $57 per month in their “Budget” program. I never go with these programs because I know there are convenience fees built into the program that adds to the cost on my bill. This year it is especially important for me not to go with this plan since the cost of natural gas has slid so far this year. – Jason
