This is the last year I am reliant on one heat source. Ever.

Stood in the aisle at the local home improvement store yesterday looking at alternatives. While we were there, five other people came through looking at the same thing.

We left behind fuel oil for the same reason 14 years ago. We'll leave behind LP now.

Electric now. Solar this summer. Fuck them all next winter.

I just wish everyone was able to do this. We're lucky. So many people are suffering out there without heat or hot water thanks to these bozos.

The only hope I have is that it gets some of these free-market, anti-regulation petroleum cronies unelected in 2014 and 2016.
