Nat Gas may be reaching maximum storage capacity but it won't in the long term. That and there was 5+ Billion in the stimulus package to research alternatives to oil. Pickens' Plan is going after some of that $$$ and in the long run I'm sure he'll get some of it. Plus markets do tend we weed out oversupply with undersupply especially when we're talking finite resources here.

Once again and eventually all will realise that Natural Gas like Oil is running out ... the dramatic drop in prices over the last couple of years is like a gigantic spring waiting to explode... and explode it will!!

After all the concerns over UNG and their current predicament, now basically operating as a closed in fund, this seems to be a good more reliable alternative to play natural gas. I also like that it invest to correspond to the ISE-REVERE Nat Gas Index as apposed to future contracts. GAS is another alternative, which is an investment in the distribution side of natural gas.

This is one of the better alternatives to investing in natural gas commodity etf's that suffer from contango. Provided the market as a whole holds up (which it should in the long term), this stock should do well as natural gas is a much more easily realized alternative to crude oil.

Natural Gas is going to be the bridge between Petroleum and Alternative Energy. Although the US has plenty of reserves, exploration has been halted in most areas due to falling demand. When demand picks up supply will not be able to catch up for a year or two at the least. Beginning next year supply will play catch-up over the next 5-8 years.

Natural gas traders looking to avoid contango complications will invest here. FCG doesn't have to roll contracts at a loss, so it will make a good investment to profit from the improving market situation for gas.

I think Nat Gas has nowhere to go but up.

This ETF is a value play at this point, and the added dividend income is the sweetener. Natural gas should see long term growth as a 'cleaner' fossil fuel variant. Infrastructure already exists to support power generation plants with 3-5 yr construction cycles and 2-4 yr permit cycles, so this is a long term investment that should grow if alternative energy sources can't get there in time and coal, oil and nuclear are unacceptable politically.

The decline in crude oil prices gets all the headlines, but the first globalized natural gas glut in history is driving an even more drastic collapse in the cost of gas that cooks food, heats homes and runs factories in the United States and many other countries.

Six giant plants capable of cooling and liquefying gas for export are due to come on line this year just as the economies of the Asian and European countries that import the most gas to run their industries are slowing.

Energy experts and company executives say that means loads of gas from Qatar, Egypt, Nigeria and Algeria that otherwise would be going to Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Spain are beginning to arrive in supertankers in the United States, even though there is a gas glut here, too.

With industrial and utility use of natural gas declining, gas prices in the United States have already declined by two-thirds since the summer. Prices are not likely to go down much more, experts say, but an increase in imports is likely to keep them low until the global economy recovers and drives demand back up.
