New pipeline capacity combined with increased natural gas production in other parts of the U.S. and reduced demand during the recession have dramatically changed the natural gas markets in the Rocky Mountains and Colorado, Dennis Webb reports.

Nevertheless, this is a good story for anyone interested in Colorado economics and jobs. Link:
