A can of dog or cat food is just as nutritious cold as it hot. (Dem spin on elderly during the Reagan years)

To boil water in my tea kettle for tea would cost me about half a cent for electricity for about three cups.

I think to run the heat for an hour would cost me fifty cents here in Florida.

Many Floridians don’t like to run the heat.

In the winter, on cold winter mornings, I will crawl out of bed and turn on the heat. I will go back in the sack for fifteen minutes and then dress and turn off the heat.

Just a reminder to everyone that the dramatic increase in energy costs in Middle England occurred before the Russian move into Ukraine. That happened back in 2021 because the EU tore up the long-standing energy purchase agreements with Russia in the misconception that they would be able to dictate the price paid. It didn’t work; Russia called their bluff and europe ended up having to pay spot rates. (Although no longer part of the EU, Britain is still part of Western Europe and therefore utlimately also affected.)
As they say, the rest is history...
... and funnily enough we are now in a proxy war with Russia...

“I sent my $1,400 back”

You could have sent/given it to someone who actually needed it.

I have to call BS on this article, Everything else in it is legit but not the headline besed on the tiny amount of energy required to cook or heat food. A small bottle of propane is enough to cook for months and months. A KWH is £0.28 in England in a worst case scenario so 3o minutes in a one KW microwave or a hotplate is about 15 cents American. (It's quite a bit cheaper here) I am all for the complaints about the cost of fuel but come on, let's keep our arguments real. That said, energy needs to be opened back up. Drill baby drill!
