Natural Gas – 100 Years Ago Today, April 22, 1922!
Tom Shepstone
Shepstone Management Company, Inc.
Natural gas news from a hundred years ago offers great perspective for discussing one of the cleanest sources of energy available then and still today.
I thought it might be fun and illuminating to look back 100 years ago at what was happening with natural gas. It is eye opening, given all we’ve learned over the last century and, of course, there is little new under the sun. Consider these 100-year old news items (emphasis added):
Globalism, Corporatism and the Great Green Reset Scam
Tom Shepstone
Shepstone Management Company, Inc.
Globalism and corporatism are at the core of what is the “Great Reset” and plans of elites to grab control. Green energy is but the vehicle to get there.
If you want to understand what’s really happening in the world, and specifically, the world of energy, one needs only to watch what elites do as opposed to what they say. By this, I’m not taking about their hypocrisy. We do far too much of that, which accomplishes precisely nothing because elites are proud of their hypocrisy. It demonstrates they are so important as to be above the rules. It also throws us off the real scent of corruption. And, corruption there is with all globalism. It is endemic throughout the ruling gentry class and that’s what we need to understand and defeat.
Green Hydrogen Is A Dumb Idea If There Ever Was One!

Green hydrogen is part of the big green experiment about which there ought to be plenty of skepticism, as the idea just does not make much sense at all.
As I have note here more than once, one of my favorite websites to visit every day is JoNova, an Australian blog that covers a wide array of subjects from Aussie energy to science to American politics, with a lot in-between. It’s often cynical about the direction of the world and as I’ve gotten older I’ve come to appreciate cynicism as a feature rather than a bug, because it is cynicism that keeps us from even worse disasters than the ones we’ve self-inflicted over the years pursuing utopian experiments that ended in one apocalypse after another.
We are always in the midst of at least one such experiment and today it is the green one, which, of course is wrapped in a big red “Great Reset” ribbon. Green hydrogen is one of the key elements of the experiment and a recent post at JoNova suggests it will end like the rest.
Natural Gas Storage Drops with Temperature As Prices Rise
Tom Shepstone
Shepstone Management Company, Inc.
Natural gas storage inventories in the U.S. have plummeted as natural gas demand has exceeded even growing production. Blame poor Western energy policies.
If you have watched the current natural gas price posted to the right on this blog every day, you have noticed a big change over the 15 months following Joe Biden’s occupation of the White House. It was $2.57 per 1,000 cubic feet then and is now $7.82. Prices have steadily escalated—more than tripled— as the Biden puppeteers have made move after move to restrict, smother and trash the oil and gas industry.
Now, the bill is coming due. Cold temperatures, high LNG demand from allies seeking an alternative to Russian gas and a lack of infrastructure to move the product to market and to natural gas storage for later use have constrained the domestic supply and raised the price in the face of increased winter demand, even though production has increased
