Last Monday, January 6, was so cold that gas wells froze shut in the Marcellus shale region of Pennsylvania. Inconveniently, it was also the day a new record was hit in demand for natural gas.
Prices went up as companies used their reserves. Coal and nuclear power made up a bigger part of the supply of power this week as companies struggled to provide for their customers.
Shale gas fracking is producing near-record supplies of natural gas to meet record demand.
