No, this winter will be the most expensive heating year on record. Chicken little or not, heating oil prices are almost two times what they were last year. Its gonna be ugly for a lot of people, especially in the Northeast there in New England.
You have your head in the sand up there in Maine??? Are you completely unaware of the energy crisis and limited global resources? And Al Gore? Who the :censored: is he? This has nothing to do with politics, or global warming, and everything to do with the new era of EXPENSIVE OIL.
Wake up Bubba... time are changing.

No, no, and no. There's not a problem with supply. Check it out wherever. Apples to apples: what about the price of milk, of bottled water, food COMPARED to say the Carter 70's "oil crisis". Then, there was an artifical shortage. Remember lines ? If you doubt that it is politics ( look up "realpolitique"), study the politics of oil.

Hey Windy, we ain't got no sand in Maine.

A myth? Thermodynamics is a myth? Sorry... physics does not lie, and this is not some cooked up wife's tale. It can be proven, very easilly with a blower door. It does not matter if the house is tight or not; of if you have an EPA fireplace, wood stove or coal stove or whatever. Plain and simple, the hot air going out your flue in any type of heating appliance that does not have a direct source for cold air input is stealing the warm, heated air from your house and tossing it out into your yard through the flue! And then you have to re-heat the cold air that came inside to replace it with. Check the flue rate of air going out your chimney sometime. That is a lot of air going out that thing, and a lot of heat is going with it.

I am denying the Second Law of Thermodynamics :monkey: . And don't bring wives into this bubba :censored: "Sucking" heat out is that, a myth. The tiny amount of needed air for one average wood stove is nothing compared to a gas fired on-demand water heater, or oil furnace. Study the air flows in an average house: air exchanges, air leakage. Do the BTU calculations.

Hey, ain't no bubbas this far north. Take it easy on the ad hominums.

Take a deep breath, fill your truck's tank, open a brew, relax. We still have energy, winters will be winters, the world will still demand to share our lifestyle and freedoms. Problems, certainly. Always were, and will be. As you sip that brew, think seriously about two things:

1. The lifestyle of most of the world right now.

2. How our people had to live and work, and what luxuries the average Joe Family had even just after WWII as recent as the 40's : e.g chainsaws, computers, AC, cars, vacations, clothing variety, food, housing ownership, medical care and longevity, work "week", real poverty (here),......................................................

No sand boy.
