Winter heating bills next season could be 25-30% higher than they were this past year.
That word from Vectren CEO Niel Ellerbrook.
Ellerbrook says growing political pressure to cut carbon emissions combined with Americans appetite for energy will continue to put pressure on the natural gas market, which means higher prices.
He also says some long term solutions include broader access to natural gas reserves, nuclear energy options, clean coal technology and more energy conservation efforts.
