I remember when natgas was around a buck a therm back in the 2000s, as opposed to a quarter a therm in the winter of 2020-2021.
I would spot-heat with a portable kerosene heater, and saved a lot of money and got to be comfortable [well, the Queen got to be comfortable, which was the important part].
Zeroboy and his ecogoons destroyed kerosene as a heating option by introducing low-sulfur K-1 and diesel [added "biofuel" - garbage french-fry oil and the like].
This drove the price from 1.50 a gallon to over 3 bucks a gallon - and killed 3-4 heater wicks a season [at 15-20 bucks a pop], as opposed to 1 or two wicks a season before [water from the "biodiesel"].
The garbage biodiesel also made the heaters run like crap for half the life of a wick.
The Joek's puppeteers and their direct tax on fuel...
Yep, haven't used my Kerosun in years. I didn't realize the change had occurred, so I guess it's almost useless now.
Took me a season and a half to figure it out. I have a Kerosun, too. There it sits, in storage.
It was a nice unit till the ecostooges killed it.
This is Oregon, but I'm sure that our states have something similar:
