The rising price you pay for gas, oil and electricity is just as frightening as the environmental damage. Natural gas shortages. Oil supply constraints. Transmission congestion. These unknowns and others drive the price of gas up and are difficult to predict. But it's not hard to see you're opening up your wallet wider and wider for gas and utility bills each year.

According to the California Public Utilities Commission, residential gas rates increased an average of 6.7% annually between 1971 and 2001. And this trend is likely to accelerate.
