Gas price ethics and contract traps in natural gas markets
A House Republican notes a push for recontrol as prices rise while demand falls. The piece explains how gas utilities and pipelines signed long term contracts with producers in the past five years, creating take-or-pay clauses that keep costs high regardless of usage. It outlines how the 1978 Natural Gas Policy Act set ceiling prices for many gas categories, which producers tied to ceilings turning into floors, amid scarce market mechanisms.
Decontrol debate shifts as gas price foes line up
Energy and oil interests push deregulation of natural gas to lower prices. Reagan aides hint at a 1983 push, while regulators like C. M. Butler back immediate decontrol. Coalition leaders warn of protest votes as voters face looming price hikes and contract issues.
