Today's data snapshot worth noting: US natural gas is hovering around $5.5 per mBtu right now. Put that in perspective—sure, it's nowhere near those crazy spikes we saw in the early 2000s, but compared to the past ten years? We're definitely on the elevated end. What really stands out is how much pricier this is versus the entire span of the previous administration's first four years. The benchmark's been climbing, and it's shaping up as a reminder that energy cycles don't play favorites with political timelines.
