Oil companies (and the Elite who own great chunks of them) are buying up supplies of Natural Gas.  Why?  Is it the cleanest source of energy available?  Is it the cheapest?  Is it the best way to heat our homes or cook our food?  It might be the former…  but it isn’t really why they are doing it now.  They’re doing it because they see the future.  The future is simple:  China just announced that all of the vehicles they are designing and building in the future will run on natural gas.  Those who own natural gas supplies are going to get rich.  Those who think that gas-guzzling Detroit automobiles are the past, present, and future…  are going to find themselves (at some point) in a game they cannot win.
