I hope it was not rude of me to look at my phone but I wanted to check the current prices. The price of fuel is exceptionally volatile. This is an unprecedented time. Two years ago, the price of gas was approximately 40 cent or 50 cent a therm. It was at that level for 20 years or for as long as I can remember. It varied slightly. Yesterday, the price was more than 400 cent a therm. That was the wholesale purchasing forward price for next winter.
