Energy sources tend to track each other, because of dual-consumers who switch back and forth to the cheaper source, causing demand to pull up the cheaper one. So yes, if energy gets more expensive, gas will follow. The reverse is also true then: If gas is slightly cheaper (as it is, for smaller consumers), it should remain slightly cheaper.
No. It will probably level off and then follow inflation instead of being one of the main causes of inflation.
Quick Google on fuel price and inflation, hence me wondering for the future.
Cause and Effect:
In addition to that direct effect on inflation, higher oil prices raise inflation indirectly because crude oil is a key ingredient in petrochemicals used to make plastic.
No use energy costs kills a “emerging” (read after the ANC rule) economy.
Very interesting …
Okay …
That’s interesting. It means that IPPs are getting into the game. And there’s no mention of this power being wheeled to some big mine somewhere.
Maybe this is why Eskom is seeking big tariff increases. They have to make the ground fertile for IPPs, But these guys are already up and running and see a way to make a profit.
Now why did you have to go and think that! 
I’m going positive on this one.
Very interesting and quite encouraging …
