Phil, I can tell you some NG things now. The US is able to be a net EXPORTER of NG with exports continuing to increase because NG production is near record highs and going higher. Much of those exports is shipped to Europe in the form of LNG. One of those export terminals is here in the SAV area. Many years ago it was an import facility for NG, but that was reversed after the US thanks to major increases in production via fracking resulted in a major increase in production.
Regarding NG consumption, that varies widely from year to year based on wx with hot summers and cold winters (especially in E half of US down to TX) both increasing consumption. Also, consumption varies widely depending on season with highest average consumption per day by far in winter and lowest around late April-early June and much of Sept to mid Oct.
Hope that helps.
