We are a rural area of upstate NY and depend on oil to heat our homes. Electricity is very expensive and not dependable - we heat with wood and/or fuel oil.
Those idiots in DC have no idea how much we depend on oil and at $7 per gallon some poor folks are in a dangerous "transition" situation. To add more insult the idiots in Albany are moving to outlaw oil and wood source heating. We have a large Amish community up here that depends on wood for heat.
Oh yeah...we also have windmills that turn on your lights if the wind is blowing. Maybe that "global warming" will kick in?
