Bracing for Winter

just saw an article in the paper predicting heating oil will be 46% higher here this year. nothing on natural gas prices yet. We're going to need bigger blankets

Go thermal underwear all the way 😱😱
@Royrogers you know it's going to be cold when we start putting our thongs away with the summer clothing

Elections have consequences. And we are paying the price for that right now. Just because you don’t like one person’s personality doesn’t mean they’re not good at their job.

Europe will be cold. No Russian gas means we'll buy from other sources at an elevated price, so your supplier will basically tell you "why should I sell you at the same price we negotiated last year, when desperate overseas customers will pay me 2x as much?».

You're only safe if your energy is produced by local, non transferrable sources (hydroelectric, solar, wind, nuclear); if you rely on oil or methane for heating yourself definitely buy thicker blankets

@Elessar How many will be safe in that way though?

Few countries have that luxury, but rely on a mixture of electricity generated from fossil fuels as well as hydro, wind. etc power, the price of that electricity will rise too; and in many countries most homes and businesses rely on gas or oil, not electricity, for heating.

Geothermal..
Solar..Hydro and Wind

We All should be off Fossil fuels
Until we Actually get our energy from green measures
We All are at Risk of climbing rates
Being held ransom by forign regimes
And furthering harmful emissions

The Economy is in hyperinflation just compounds the issues Far more

Natural gas here in Colorado will increase 54% next month. That oughta be against the law. My landlord has already shut off the furnace. Gonna be a long cold winter. Will I survive it?
Whatever. No plans for zero emissions anything, no wind, no solar!
Stand with the ecocide and Ukraine.

Get 3 dogs or some kitty cats to keep us warm this winter! Thanks, Biden!!

Add another person in bed to keep warm.
