A new forecast on energy costs for heating in New York state calls for a spike in those expenses this coming winter. During an annual presentation by the state of the NY State Public Service Commission last week, staffers said that on average, statewide, consumers will be hit with about a 21% increase in heating costs over the entire winter compared to last year. Rochester Gas and Electric is forecasting about a 33% average increase over the winter for natural gas customers. PSC Commissioner Diane Burman worried about the impact of price hikes if there is an unusually cold winter

Heating costs are going to go up for ALL Americans everywhere thanks to Mr. Joe Biden and his really stupid move that took away America's Independence of fossil fuels.
But let's face facts, Thanks to Mr. Biden everything is going up. Food, delivery costs, taxes, fuel, electricity, everything but Social Security and pensions that retired Americans live on. Supporting the many illegals and Afghani's and thousands of Haitians being allowed in the country, at a time when Americans are being screwed over by Biden's expensive policies and crazy environmental plans and higher taxes is going to send many Americans into financial strife this year and we have 3 more years to go being run by a mentally unfit moron and a Democrat party that seems as moronic as it's leader.

During the Jimmy Carter reign , we had to turn down our thermostats to about 65! (in Minnesota!), wear gloves indoors, seal our drafty windows with 3m plastic film, use dangerous space heaters indoors, and stack bagged fall leaves around our house foundations for extra insulation. The icing on the cake: No outdoor Christmas light displays. Bring back the PIP index for Let's Go Brandon!

There will be hundreds of thousands of elderly and poor who will simply not be able to afford huge heating bills. Since the Dems want to borrow trillions to p*** away maybe they can send a few bucks to those people huddling in their cold homes but only if they are black. Whites need not apply.

With all of the gas in the Marcellus Shale underneath Broome, Tioga, Delaware and Chemung Counties, this is a travesty. Yet another legacy of Prince Andrew. Spit.

Most people don't know it because the cold weather isn't here yet, but rationing is already taking place because of selling gas at much higher prices to Europe and other places. I say stop rationing here, ship all Europe and others want, shut down the pipelines to the northeast. We can always blame it on Russian hackers.

I have a gas well on my property run by the crookedest gas company in the country. For ten years they insisted it belonged to them and stole all the money for themselves. When Mom died, I hired a lawyer and proved to them it was mine and they were just leasing it, and owed 10 years worth of money. They refused to pay and shut down the well. That was 2017. It still isn't reopened. Must not be much of a shortage.

Let's go, Brandon!
Folks in the Eastern state who rely on heating oil are going to join the chorus this winter when JoeBamaBiteMe has CAUSED THINGS TO GET WORSE ON PURPOSE. Vote Woke demonrat socialist and freeze your butts off when there is plenty to go around.
We have over 400 years worth of coal, newly found reserves of clean-burning natural gas, and oil, yet there is a FORCED MIGRATION by the new hippies against using these things, while India and China pollute the atmosphere WITH IMPUNITY!!!!
This whole scheme is NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME, but being forced upon us...... the technology does not yet exist...
Americans freeze this winter-- sort of like having a life preserver but choosing to drown instead---

It is Democrat Party policy for your heating bill to be higher and higher, forever.
Intentional POLICY, not any kind of an accident. They WANT you poorer and colder in the winter, hotter in the summer.
Intentional.

High food prices, high gas prices, and high heating prices. Just remember, it is all good since there are no more mean tweets.

I am looking forward to the royalty checks from my gas well shares.
