Wall Street Journal (5/4/22) reports: "Rising natural-gas prices are pushing up utility bills, threaten to make air conditioning very expensive this summer and are eating into manufacturing profits.

'You really couldn’t get the work crews in time to alleviate the problem that’s occurring right now for this summer and entering into next winter,' Ms. Chaturvedi said."
