This post was written by Minyanville contributor Vitaliy Katsenelson,



1. Reserves deplete faster than oil (in general).


2. Oil/natural gas ratio: the price of oil divided by the price of natural gas is at an all-time high (or close). This ratio stands at 17 (historically it has been at about an 8 or so). Natural gas prices will go, oil will decline, or both.


3. At $4 a gallon, it is uneconomical to develop and look for new oil reserves.


4. No OPEC competition.


5. Politically more favorable than coal.


6. After emission caps are implemented natural gas will become a cheaper alternative than politically and environmentally unfriendly coal.
