Q - Thanks for the info but I never thought that natural gas was refined from oil or that it was a by-product of oil.

What I do believe is that Cheney is interested in the Alberta oil fields and that his primary interest is in pipelines. Kinder Morgan is interested in acquiring Terasen gas (they may have already bought it). I have read that natural gas is needed to build Cheney's pipeline. I assumed that Cheney and Kinder Morgan were in cahoots.

BTW - My hot water heating system is powered by natural gas. I am not looking forward to a price increase especially if it means my hard earned dollars are heading south.

BTW - George Bush and Dick Cheney no longer have a mandate from heaven.
