There is a real energy crisis in Europe that was created by a combination of political missteps, climate change fear-mongering and a woke energy policy that could leave much of Europe and Asia undersupplied as they head into winter.
It is also a foreshadowing of what may happen in the U.S.
Oil topped the $75 per barrel level this week, the highest since October of 2018. Instead of learning from the mistakes that Europe made, we instead want to copy their failures and put our economy and people's lives at risk. The Biden administration had better heed the warning signs and call on the U.S. energy industry to try to raise production ahead of what could be one of the most expensive winters that we've seen in years. If not, they risk destroying the U.S. economy and leaving poor people out in the cold

“If not, they risk destroying the U.S. economy and leaving poor people out in the cold”
This is what the Biden 666 cabal wants. It is called “build back better”.
Hell of a deal.
It’s also a Polish / Hungarian thing - Haluski.
Slow fry some chopped up bacon, toss in the sliced cabbage, cook it down. Boil some egg noodles, stir in.
Of course, you can add salt, onions, butter to the cabbage stage, and some pepper at the finish.
Think about where we were a year ago...
Fried cabbage...is that anything like cabbage steaks?
I’m contemplating an outside wood furnace, these people are killing us with their lack of energy policy and driving rates thru the roof.
Yep, I'm sick of relying on these idiots, now contemplating an outside wood furnace.
Won’t bother them ... can’t make mayo without breaking eggs.
Elections have consequences...stolen ones create dire ones.
Well baseboard electric heat is awful...heats up a room then cools down and it kicks in again....I could feel the change.
Where this is definitely a steady heat with an oil filled radiator....because even when the temp adjusts the oil is still giving off heat.....and no turning down the heat at night nor cold mornings anymore! Two of these heat my entire apartment so well. I love them. But if I had a choice it would be a wood stove...I miss it!
We have a soapstone wood stove and the stone holds the heat for HOURS. It is a little slow to warm up the stove, although you can feel the heat before the stove is hot, but once it gets going, it’s wonderful.
It’s also a catalytic stove, meaning when it gets hot enough it burns the gases and smoke and burns VERY efficiently. We get very little ash from it.
My grand daughters are like you...dress like it’s summer in the winter....doesn’t seem to bother them to have cold temps.
Well it was over 20 yrs ago we had a wood stove...but it burned hot...openings were all controlled. A couple logs would burn forever it seemed. Never heard of soapstone stove. ...however ours sat on a big marble block and it held the heat too.
Yeah, right.
Look up “Devil Watt” for a gadget you can set on your woodstove to turn it into a source of electricity. It’s not as convenient or dollar-efficient as solar panels have gotten, but it’s a handy backup in case you need power when the sun isn’t shining.
I filled up my propane this summer for my off grid. Not enough tank for all winter bu most of it. Propane is already over $2 a gallon when last year this time it was about 80 cents. YAY BIDEN
Good for you.
One of my brothers told me the same thing about the price. He said propane tanks are hard to come by. He’s looking for a larger one. (Southwest Colorado)
I had planned to get a soapstone stove to put in my back porch sun room. However, hubby without consulting me, doubled the size of the shed/root cellar, and thus spent all the money for that sun room addition.
I ain’t gettin’ over that disappointment anytime soon!
Have you actually used the Devil Watt?
We restarted using heat last winter-after installing a fireplace insert-it worked great. While I think we are well prepared, we continue to stock up on the items we don’t have a lot of.
And we buy extra seeds each year, in case of shortages come spring. I’ll have to say, that the growing season this year was not nearly as good as past years-cooler than usual for longer than usual in the Spring, and fall cool setting in sooner than usual.
