Antero, Expand Energy and Comstock sit on a timing gap as AI-driven gas demand arrives in a concentrated burst rather than a smooth ramp. Turbines, not gas, have been scarce: orders surged in 2024-2025 with three-to-five-year lead times, so the first large batch should arrive within about a year, often at behind-the-meter sites near gas fields. Buyers avoiding turbine waits are turning to mass-producible reciprocating engines that also burn gas. Storage, drilling and pipelines have grown slowly. x.com
