        So when @SecretaryPerry asked “What’s the cost of freedom?”. I guess the answer is about $2.60 per MMBtu.

        And I guess DOE is going to start referring to venting and flaring as “excess of freedom” now?

        Also refers to nat gas as “molecules of freedom.” I’m picturing little red protons, blue neutrons, and 50 swirling electrons.
