[QUOTE="1project2many, post: 4742940, member: 70427"] The main reason the midwest propane prices are jumping by so much is because they were so low compared to the rest of the country last year. The northeast typically pays more for it's energy because it has to be imported. The primary exception is wood which is often in high enough supply to be exported as a raw material. In addition to the wood which grows here, tons of manufactured wood products are imported as well. This includes wood for construction and pallets which in turn generates tons of waste for a landfill or scrap So it's no surprise that thrifty people here are looking at turning it into usable energy. What I find amazing is the statement that using wood is "moving backwards." Using more of what's produced and sending less to the landfill should be considered moving forward. Plenty of people looking for wood for heat this year would think what gets sent to trash around here is shameful so I don't think it's moving backward at all. [/QUOTE]
