new_gas_meter.jpgThe amount of money leaking out of communities to pay for natural gas is rising as the price of natural gas rises.

Numbers from the analysis done by Local Energy are shown below, and a flyer for distributing the data can be downloaded here. I'll work on getting commercial numbers too.
