Three words -- Expected Energy Costs
-----------------------------------------

Fuel Oil expected to increase by 70% for winter heating needs

Natural Gas expected to increase by 30% for winter heating needs.


THIS CANNOT HAPPEN -- People who do not have the means will freeze.


This along with the "gas gouging" are not only life important but cut across dem/rep lines and would show leadership !


That's right -- LEADERSHIP

What do we pay people for -- LEADERSHIP


Institute price caps or other solutions -- NOW.

1. Why? is the question. And I want a truthful answer. n/t

[cthrumatrix]

2. why prces are going up? Because there is the suggestion that there

will be less fuel based on supply / demand.

is it documented...no?

is there more demand ..I would think so (more people/homes).

Prices are set by traders in a pit in Chicago and the world runs with it.

We can't let prices affect the lives (literally) of people....many less fortunate do not have the means

3. True leaders don't need to be told how to lead...

nor can they be 'bought'. What you're looking for is a ruler.

4. I think you got the numbers mixed up...

I heard:
Natural Gas up 71% in Midwest
Heating Oil up 30% in Northeast
Electricity up 15% in South
