Energy Industry Icon Calls for Lower Energy Prices; Natural Gas Target $2.50-$2.75/mmbtu and Oil $40-$60/bbl next 12-18 Months

Posted on: Thursday, 24 September 2009, 14:07 CDT

MIAMI, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Through his advisors, Energy Industry Icon Karl W. Miller calls for lower energy prices; natural gas target $2.50-$2.75/mmbtu and Oil $40-$60/bbl over the next 12-18 months.

Mr. Miller cites the grossly understated number of jobless in the U.S., the grossly understated number of distressed and troubled mortgages/borrowers and lack of leverage available to the retail and industrial sectors as simply putting the absolute brakes on any credible demand increase.

The math is simple: no jobs, no credit, distressed home owners, equals no energy demand in either industrial, light commercial or retail sectors.

The only people spending money right now in any meaningful way is the U.S. Government by printing paper non-stop during the past 12 months.

Mr. Miller predicts we are going to hit the wall very shortly, with no air bags to cushion the impact in the energy markets.

Speculation not fundamentals have taken hold of energy prices. That will change quickly.
