Get Out The Electric Heaters

According to what I just heard on the radio, natural gas will be up 71% of last winter, heating oil 33%, and electricity only 17%. Guess who's not using her furnace this winter and will be getting a few electric radiators? Thank goodness for the new double paned windows! Of course the walls are still uninsulated, but thank heaven for small mercies, eh?

I don't have a source, it was just the hourly news on the radio this morning.

Last September, wholesale gas was $4.50 per million BTUs. This year, it briefly topped $12 and was at $11.26 on Friday, 9/9/05. And September is a relatively slow month!

While yellowcake is up too, the US gets half of its reactor fuel from recycled Russian nuclear warheads.

Don't you wish we had built more nuclear reactors?
