"The price of natural gas has fallen in recent months due to mild winter weather.

Natural gas was $3.17 per 1,000 cubic feet Tuesday, a 29 percent drop from nearly $4.50 in late November, the Associated Press reported.

Analysts expect prices to stay low and eventually be followed by lower electricity and heating costs in the coming months. But the lower prices won’t show in electricity bills immediately, due to the way regulated power markets are structured."
