Interesting read from 12/2010. I find it interesting that Natural gas doesn't follow the same supply and demand trends that other commodities do. While Higher quanity will lower the price, lower quantity will not raise the price. The demand just stays flat.

Are you thinking this is the next mass fuel for cars and trucks?

Here is a ETF on Natural Gas, not just LNG.

Conoco has a nice dividend. 3.58%

In the U.S. market, ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) offers a nice balance between natural gas and oil. You get to participate in any upside in crude oil prices while also benefiting from an eventual comeback of natural gas, whose depressed price will sooner or later cause a comeback in demand, be it in the form of natural gas-fired electricity plants or other uses.
