In the United Kingdom the discovery of large reserves of natural gas, or sea gas as it was known colloquially, in the Southern North Sea off the coasts of Norfolk and Yorkshire in 1965 [7] [8] led to the expensive conversion or replacement of most of Britain's gas cookers and gas heaters, from the late 1960s onwards, the process being completed ...
In the U.S., utility gas prices in September were 70% higher than in recent years. Europeans, who already pay much higher for natural gas, saw bills rise sharply by 50% — for example, in Estonia ...
Although solar and wind based power make the big headlines, the real shift taking place today is natural gas encroaching on coal's territory in the U.S. power grid. That's a long-term trend that ...
Battery, run-of-the-river hydroelectricity with pondage, variable renewable energy and natural gas turbine generators are examples of dispatchable generators. Seasonal diurnal cycles and climatology, as well as short term meteorological events have significant impacts to grid balancing from both supply and demand perspectives.
Thanks to natural gas, energy stocks have been outperforming other sectors and the broader market. Year to date, the S&P 500 Energy ETF ( XLE ) is up more than 7%, compared to the broad-based ...
Natural gas was not widely used before the development of long distance pipelines in the early 20th century.
