Coal is not dead as I pointed out in last years post – https:\/\/allenergyconsulting.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/11\/the-demise-of-coal-overstated\/<\/a><\/p>\n

I am sorry I am late in publishing my blog.\u00a0\u00a0 Life is catching up on me.\u00a0\u00a0 For a quick blog I thought I review what I wrote around this time last year.\u00a0\u00a0 It was good that I was right.\u00a0\u00a0 Gas prices have significantly firmed up relative to last year – in fact they have DOUBLED!<\/p>\n

As I pointed out in my blog last year, much of\u00a0the downfall\u00a0can be attributed to the weather.\u00a0\u00a0 There is some attribution for weather again for the move up.\u00a0 This years winter was cold relative to normal.\u00a0\u00a0 Global warming this year took a break – unfortunate for those in Ohio.\u00a0\u00a0 We actually had a freeze warning last week!\u00a0 Nonetheless, as I expected, prices of natural gas price\u00a0rose from their extreme low.\u00a0 Even if winter was not as cold but normal, I am sure\u00a0gas would be still north of $3.75\/mmbtu.<\/p>\n

The fun thing to watch this year will be spot prices of coal.\u00a0\u00a0 I suspect we will see firming in the spot prices as I expect many coal generators given their pain over the past few years under contracted the amount of coal they will actually consume.\u00a0\u00a0 This may not present itself till after June\/July given they are right now suspecting weather could save them.<\/p>\n

I am still working on my piece of Global Warming and Quantitative Easing and their similarities.\u00a0 Just like the hockey stick issue that occured in Global Warming – looks like there is a hockey stick issue for QE in academia – http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/realspin\/2013\/04\/18\/that-reinhart-and-rogoff-committed-a-spreadsheet-error-completely-misses-the-point\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Please do consider All Energy Consulting for your energy consulting needs.\u00a0 The blog has documented our general outlook.\u00a0 As you can review my blog\u00a0we are quite prescient of the future as it pertains to energy.<\/p>\n
