One of the local stations (Charleston) had an interview with a SCANA representative yesterday evening - very bluntly said that people need to save as much money as they can now because the heating bills for those using natural gas could triple this winter.

Here in Oklahoma City the gas company has a program whereby you can lock in a rate of $8.39/dth for 12 months. I expect the price to be $14.00/dth by the end of the year.

Expect people to save for emergency expenses!!!!!!!!

That is just too much to ask!!!!!!

Gotta have something to blame on President Bush when the bills for energy arrive.

"...very bluntly said that people need to save as much money as they can now because the heating bills for those using natural gas could triple this winter."

The headlines in the Mobile Register, about two weeks ago, said that natural gas prices would increase by about 70% this winter. I did notice that all my logs I placed on the side of the road for FEMA pick-up disappeared almost as soon as I took them out there. Some people will be heating with wood this winter.
