[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Murphy Siding Do they buy that natural gas from open access pipeline companies?[:-,] [/quote] No, they buy that natural gas from natural has producers, who then utilize open access pipelines to deliver the product. The phrasing of your question is like asking if coal burning utilities buy their coal from BNSF (or UP, et al). They don't, they buy the coal from the coal companies. And yes, it is cheaper to ship natural gas via open access pipeline than it is to ship coal via closed access railways, although that is more of an apples to oranges comparison. (Hmmmm, need to figure out the shipping cost on a $$/mmBtu basis, but we do know that rail transportation costs amount from a third to half the delivered cost of coal, and as far as I can tell the transportation costs to ship natural gas amounts to pennies per therm compared to the wellhead price.)
