U.S. Decries Canada Gas Price Increases
Washington officials express disappointment over Canada's decision to raise exported natural gas prices from 1.00 to 1.40 per 1000 cubic feet on Aug 1 and to 1.60 on Nov 1. The FEA warns U.S. consumers could pay an extra 550 million to 600 million dollars yearly, while Canadian users see no rise. Regions dependent on Canada include the Pacific Northwest, northern California, parts of the Midwest and New England. The United States notes price hikes have climbed over 500 percent since 1973, and U.S. customers shoulder the burden.
