Yep, the price is going out of sight because they can’t convert to other generation easy, soon or cheaply. This is criminal but of course Zer0 and his thugs could care less.

I'll be cutting more wood to keep the house warm. Too bad I can't power my computers with the heat from the wood. My primary heat comes from natural gas. I'm sure that will be attacked soon.

The people this will really hit are the ones who are very dependent on air conditioning.

Air conditioning is desirable when the summer
temps rise into the 80 to 103 range. Winter often
brings -5F to -21F in the first week of December.
Absent access to electricity and gas, you are in a
tough spot in Pocatello. The basement provides a
decent refuge from the heat.

True, but I've always said I'd rather it be cold than hot.

As you said, we can burn firewood to keep warm (unless you are in Kalifornia), but if you live in a house without a basement and it is hot out, you are going to cook without AC once it is too hot for fan cooling.

The condo living crowd in the south are going to pay dearly in the summer. They have little choice.

Four more months before we can send the DC crooks a message to kiss our asses!
