get that wood cut now......

Get ready to pay sharply higher bills for heating this winter, along with seemingly everything else.

With prices surging worldwide for heating oil, natural gas and other fuels, the US government said Wednesday it expects households to see their heating bills jump as much as 54% compared with last winter.

Nearly half the homes in the US use natural gas for heat, and they could pay an average $746 this winter, 30% more than a year ago.

Those in the midwest could get particularly pinched, with bills up an estimated 49%, and this could be the most expensive winter for natural gas heated homes since 2008-2009.

The second-most used heating source for homes is electricity, making up 41% of the country, and those households could see a more modest 6% increase to $1,268.

Homes using heating oil, which make up 4% of the country, could see a 43% increase – more than $500 – to $1,734.

The sharpest increases will probably be for homes that use propane, which account for 5% of US households.

This winter is forecast to be slightly colder across the country than last year.

The forecast from the US Energy Information Administration is the latest reminder of the higher inflation ripping across the global economy.

Earlier Wednesday, the government released a separate report showing that prices were 5.4% higher for US consumers in September than a year ago.

That matches the hottest inflation rate since 2008, as a reawakening economy and snarled supply chains push up prices for everything from cars to groceries.

A reawakened economy pushing up prices my ass

Build. Back. Better.


It won’t bother the democrat voters.

High food costs? Fugg that. Swipe your EBT.

Don’t wanna pay rent / mortgage? No problem. Program for that.

Light bill too high? Prolly a program for that.

Way of life…. Being non productive.

Living off the gub’ment.

When people have to choose heat or going out for dinner, they will choose heat. Restaurants, hotels, travel, will all suffer. Compound job loss.
People wont drive, cars wont be sold. A collapse.
But the only way to fix something is to have something broke. This is a plan to break the US and replace it as a soviet like state.
Destruction is the plan.

Still loving my wood stove and chainsaw.

Biden's Long Dark Winter.


Better look to yourself and your family.

Big Govt ain't gonna save anyone.

Let’s go Brandon!

This. The dimocommies war is against the middle class. The welfare pukes will never miss a steak.

His welfare rats nationwide DGAF about schit like this.
They get the schit for free or heating assistance grants.


Honk for Joey........

I have one of those programmable thermostats. I'll probably put a little more effort into trying to manage heating the home this year .

Nearby town of around 25k - 28k population has it's own utilities distribution facilities, just last week notified their natural gas customers to expect "substantially" higher (40 - 50% higher) bills this coming winter.

They'll suffer any hardship in order to get the Communism they desire.

Yep. The only thing he didnt lie about.

Im just wondering if we will have electricity through the winter

I sure dont want to hear that POS say we will.

Ex. Going to bring the nation together
Borders ARE closed
There will be no mask mandates, or lockdowns, or vax mandates.
Going to get the economy going and millions of new jobs.
Going to get all Americans out by Sept 11 when we get out.
Restore dignity around the world.

Exactly.

No, we will suffer any hardship.......

Its called planned destruction of the ecomony.

And we as taxpayers foot the bill for the worlds most expensive pets every April 15th.
And they can vote too....
Those who contribute the least get the most for nothing.
Except their votes...
Thats the only thing they have to do..

Outside of partying and breeding.....

Honk for Joey.....

Two and a half years worth of hard maple in the woodshed, cut, split and very dry. Let's go Brandon.

And once price's go up..
They never go proportionally back down either.


Honk for Joey......

Great, more other state 'refugees' flooding into Arizona...
