The winds of investigation are blowing in Washington D.C.
As you all know, in response to the record cold in the eastern United States, natural gas prices soared over the past few months. While these prices appear to reflect the normal functioning of a competitive market, several federal agencies have begun preliminary investigations into the price changes in the physical and financial natural gas and electric trading markets.
