Journal Article · · Public Util. Fortn.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5460571
Heightened competition and increased embedded debt costs experienced by companies engaged in the transportation and sale of natural gas result in a persuasive argument for higher common equity ratios in the capital structures of those companies. Citing an earlier article addressing the need for higher common equity ratios for electric utilities, the author finds the arguments even more convincing for natural gas. 5 tables.
