A likely record cold winter drives higher natural gas prices. The piece notes federal price ceilings, state exemptions, and rising costs for gas used in homes, schools, and industry, with historical shifts from waste flaring to regulated exploration incentives. Postal, energy, and geographic references anchor the discussion.
The piece notes Ilumination first used in Fredonia New York in 1821 to light 30 lamps. Earlier coal gas lit a Newport house in 1806 and Baltimore licensed gas production in 1816. It traces the rise of gas pipes with seamless steel in 1925 and the eventual switch to electricity and later gas heating in the 1930s.
