The natural gas supply situation in the U.S. is put into perspective. It is shown that, while intrastate gas was in plentiful supply the last few years, interstate gas-supplied states suffered curtailments and losses in jobs. Deregulation of natural gas prices is called for. The role of the end user is next discussed. Gas purchases from interstate pipeline companies are subject to curtailments. The end user can avoid this and secure his long-term energy supply needs by either purchasing gas at the wellhead, participating in exploration, or purchasing gas reserves in the ground. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed. (DLC)
