This article from the Times Tribune illustrates the impact of local supplies:  "To meet increasing demand, a major project to bring gas from the Marcellus Shale to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton market is in the pipeline. *** UGI Energy Services is seeing more conversions to natural gas by homeowners and businesses taking advantage of prices lower than oil and electric heat.  *** As a result, UGI has opted to construct a 28- to 30-mile pipeline to connect gas wells in Wyoming County and the interstate Tennessee Pipeline in Susquehanna County to an existing UGI Utilities distribution point just outside Wilkes-Barre."

Nice.
