You are talking about natural gas. I am talking about gasoline. As both are produced by drilling into gas and oil deposits by companies in the petroleum business their prices tend to move together. There are exceptional occasions such as the fracking boom, which produced an overabundance of natural gas and drove the price down, but the drillers were mainly after petroleum. And now with the Saudis trying to put the screws to Russia by flooding the market with petroleum, the frackers are in trouble.
We are not disagreeing, just talking about allied changes to the market. One more marked now and one that will be more marked in the future.
