Home heating bills expected to rise by 37% this winter..
The city of Boulder, a haven of anti-fracking activism, offered tips Monday to residents struggling with rising home-heating prices amid a global natural-gas shortage.
The city’s website warned that residential natural gas bills are expected to increase this year by 37% over last winter and offered hints to keep costs down, including lowering the thermostat, washing clothes in cold water and dressing in layers.
“It’s not just up to your furnace to keep you warm,” the Boulder website said. “Dressing in layers can keep you warm while relying less on your heat source.”
Citing data from Xcel Energy, the city said that the average natural gas bill is expected to rise from $71 to about $98 per month, not including electricity costs.
“Behind the bigger bills are higher energy costs nationally and natural gas supply challenges
...
The irony was not lost on the Colorado Republican Party, given Boulder’s years of hostility to the oil-and-gas industry. The city and county of Boulder filed a lawsuit in 2018 against ExxonMobil and Suncor seeking “damages related to climate change.”

Boulder has blocked energy [development] at every turn, pushed statewide policies to ban fracking, and sued energy companies - now they are complaining about the high energy costs and supply challenges they helped create
...
In its recommendations, Boulder also advised residents to take advantage of the sun by opening south-facing blinds; turn down the temperature on water heaters, and use cold water whenever possible.

Good! Give the people exactly what they voted for.
Meanwhile, party members will be warm, and can lounge about in t-shirt and shorts.
Ain’t communism great?
WTF?? That’s LITERALLY why I have a furnace - to keep me and my family warm. Whoever said that it’s not is a dildo.
There’s reason why the word “Mental” is in Environmentalist
The south pole station had a record LOW recorded temperature last winter AND for the season, the average was the lowest on record. NOAA and the other DimWIT controlled agencies are lying and cooking the data to fit their CO2 agenda.
It's all a lie.
Here, take a look at Tony Heller's information that introduces the way the DimWITS lie. Remember, under Trump we were energy independent and the economy was rolling.
Higher energy bills also forces up food bills as grocery stores are also hit.
“Higher energy bills also forces up food bills as grocery stores are also hit.”
Give the people what they want.
Nor one of the leftists pushing this nonsense is doing those thing themselves. It’s The DiCaprio Effect.
Let them eat cake.
Next thing:
Take a shower with your PARKA on.
Somebody ask those dumb libtards how their precious solar panels are working out before they’re frozen solid 🤪
“...average natural gas bill is expected to rise from $71 to about $98 per month, not including electricity costs...”
And they are complaining? I feel lucky if I’m under $300 here in criminalannoy. I heard anecdotally of a Vermont homeowner getting stabbed for $800 on last heating bill. F’em.
Turn off gas to these wackos.
If that's not the perfect example of an oxymoron, I don't know what is! :-)

Ah, the memories! I recall a President once who told the country to put on sweaters and turn the thermostat down, during a time of inflation and foreign policy disaster. Jimmy somebody or other. What’s old is new again!
