The Other Fuel Price Spike
by Tom Bozzo
Addendum: This was also front page of the Wisconsin State Journal material. A graphic in the print edition, not available online, provides a projection of $1.59/therm for the winter heating season — versus 75-80 cents last winter. Ouch.
Heating season is not looking like it will be fun. From my gas bill:
- Cost per therm, September 2004: $0.57409
- Cost per therm, September 2005: $1.0355.

Damn. Some of my winter MGE bills last year were >$200 for my tiny two bedroom house. That was when Rebecca was pregnant too, and the thermostat was set at a mere 60˚C to keep her comfortable. I can't imagine paying >$400 per month, nor can I afford it!
Time to move south.

My understanding is that sunbelt a/c bills would shock you into becoming a Democrat, so you might think about the Pacific northwest.
Yay! the worst of both worlds here in greater DC. Currently we're paying $1.3831 so I can't wait for the increase to kick in...
When we went shopping for pellet stoves last weekend, we discovered that there's been a run on them for exactly the reason you just noted. We were thinking of using it mostly for emergencies, but with the price of gas going the way it is, we may be using it regularly.
