In a state that historically has liked its electricity supplies coal-based to match one of its most abundant native resources, Utah’s energy picture is increasingly becoming a stew complete with increased natural gas, oil, geothermal, solar and even some visions of a first-in-the-state nuclear generation plant.

The U.S. West’s abundant wildlife and scenic beauty, which often are adjacent to prolific oil and natural gas reserves, have become a riddle wrapped in a mystery for regulators, to paraphrase Winston Churchill.

The abundant information available about North American natural gas flows in the pipeline grid already has transformed the physical gas market, and its influence over the entire energy complex will only build in the coming year, two long-time industry experts assert.
