The True Value down the road from us will fill your tank for 2.29 a gallon, so a 20# bottle will run around $10. I usually only use the tank exchanges when I need to get rid of an 10+ year old tank.
This is one of the main reason I endorse other energy form instead of sourcing our electricity solely on natural gas. All it take is the perfect storm to start another Enron and rolling blackout. With more nuke, solar, hydro, and maybe wind too, we can at least average them out and have a smaller peak and bottom.Exporting LNG establishes a world price for natural gas, which would otherwise be land locked, providing a undervalued price for producers. Natural gas will follow the money. Look at the natural gas producers that went bankrupt. Now we’ll see if the producers start investing. So far they are a bit timid and are instead providing dividends and doing share by-backs. However, as their reserves deplete they will have to decide if they want to still be in the business or not.

Was this all caused by the frozen wells in Texas, or is there an international shortage of Propane/LNG? I am just thankful that we don't have the capacity to export more propane/LNG than what we do. Prices would be 3x as high, and our stockpiles are like 10 percent or more deficient compared to last year.
Why did they not "top off" propane/LNG stockpiles/underground reserves during the summer? Every year I seem to get reports of reserve shortages, what is going to happen to a really cold winter when these reserves get depleted?
I was just reading that the Ireland is/has been outlaw burning peat for electricity generation. But it's OK to import wood pellets from the USA for electrical generation?There will be wood to burn
