A couple of months ago, one of those bulls, All-Star buffalonate, touched on the tailwinds working in Kinder Morgan's favor: "Our usage of natural gas can only go up in the future which makes this a great place to be invested for the next 10 years. The more we adopt natural gas as a transportation fuel the higher nat gas prices will go and the higher fees [Kinder Morgan] will get for transporting the nat gas."
