No, but it would reduce the cost of Natural Gas used for Electricity Generation and thus the load on the NG/Propane market for other uses including I think the refinery costs for conventional Crude Oil Refined products. Lower Electricity costs would help as well on the electric Car market.
I'm still under the impression that the Greenies stopping as many new generation/refining plants as they have is also part of the cost factor for the final end products at the meter/pump.
