Natural gas deregulation: giving the consumer a choice
Book
·
OSTI ID:5226685
With natural gas prices rising as much as 60% in some localities, the Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA) of 1978 magnifies rather than reduces market distortions. Flaws in the NGPA can be corrected to offer consumers better protection if a renegotiation period allows the removal of certain contract clauses, naming pipelines as limited common carriers allows producers and consumers to negotiate directly, and if there is a re-evaluation of gas-import licenses. The author reviews NGPA's history and difficulties in support of taking these steps. (DCK)
