FWIW, we were at around $0.50 / therm in the 90s. In 1990s dollars.
I put in dual fuel (heat pump with a natural gas furnace) system about 10 years ago because of the high price of natural gas.
During Trump, I was wondering about the wisdom of that choice, natural gas was so cheap due to fracking.
Today, I’m thinking a dual fuel system is a good hedge, plus a wood burning stove.
What’s the price increase on a ton of coal. This was such a great system. These plants were 100-150 miles downriver from an inexhaustible supply of W.Va. coal.
I remember $2.00 gas back when I was selling residual oil from the refinery at St. Paul.
