Our energy strategy is a train wreck which is a bonus for AMEP.
Increased domestic/worldwide demand with no slowdown in sight, international terrorism, the ME disaster, unstable foreign governments (Nigeria, Venezuela etc...), domestic refining limitations, political standstill, environmental/legal standstill, domestic NG production decline, Russia's increased energy muscle and influence in the ME, etc.... Put a little weather concerns on top of this mess and bingo.
Last year $3 gas was a disaster. Now we seem to be absorbing this and much more as we approach $4. The economy is good, so we seem to be looking the other way.
I don't believe we will serious start to solve our problems until the next disaster, which is way to late.
That is why O & G/AMEP is the place to be!!!! Once AMEP get out of the starting gate with #11, its future and opportunity will be more clear.
