NO GAS
•
And Am I Burned Up!
erms burns me up! A few months back when I wanted to
1 install a gas furnace, Michigan Consolidated said: So sorry.
Big shortage. No more gas for space heating. Now I see that while
the ban is still on for GI home builders and all the other home-
owners in town, Michigan Consolidated is adding about 125
new commercial accounts to its lines each month! What's the
answer, Mr. Contractor?
Well, young fellow; "business is business." Michigan Consoli-
dated likes commehial accounts. They use gas all the year 'round
and pay a highly profitable commercial rate ... much more than
you would pay for house-heating gas.
You mean that a regulated public utility can discriminate like
that ... pick out fat commercial accounts and leave thousands of
private home owners like me out in the cold?
It looks that way. I see by the papers that at a Federal hearing in
Washington the other day someone asked a Michigan Consoli-
dated official, "How come?" and he said he had no explanation.
Just as a rough guess, how many more homes could be heated
with the gas now being given these new commercial customers?
Hard to say, but I'd estimate that Michigan Consolidated could
take on over 100 more private homes each month ... maybe more.
But that's chicken-feed compared to additional homes they could
have heated under a good storage plan.
'Storage plan?" That's a new one on me. Tell me more.
Well, as I get it, Panhandle Eastern makes 125 million cubic feel
of gas available to Michigan Consolidated every 24 hours. But
Michigan Consolidated only takes the full amount on the coldest
days of winter ... much less when it's warmer. Now, if Michigan
Consolidated took all the gas it has coming each day and stored
underground all that it doesn't immediately sell, it would save up
billions of cubic feet for winter. In 1945 alone, this would have
provided enough gas to heat
nearly another 100,000 homes
(more than double the number now using gas heat).
Why doesn't Michigan Consolidated do it?
Search me. Michigan Consolidated's own engineering advisors
recommended construction of a pipe line to their upstate storage
fields back in 1944. And Panhandle Eastern even offered to finance
and construct the line, which would have prevented this shortage.
And now I can't have gas to heat my house. I don't get it!
