Energy cost
 
I've been corresponding w/ a gal writing an article for tomorrows 'Wall
Street Journal'. She wanted to know if folks where converting gas =
fireplaces
to wood.
 
Have any of you talked with Ken Tucker at ligentics on the spot prices for
N/G? I understand he shut the plant down.
 
One of my local ma and pa grocers told me today beer is going up over $1
p/case because of the cost of plastic.
 
I'm spending an alot of time getting mothballed pelletstoves going. And I
have some REALLY pissed off gas customers!!!
 
If any of you would like an Excel spreadsheet on figuring the cost of
heating, e-mail me personally because its an attachment and our leader
wouldn't allow it on this list . just got a letter from Oregon's House
leader, Mark Simmons, whom I mailed this spreadsheet to.
 
Here in NE Oregon its now cheaper to burn electricity than l/p!!!
 
My last shipment of stoves didn't have a single gas stove in it. these are
stoves which were presold.
 
My county government has asked me to help put together a website presence =
on
woodstoves as we grapple with smoke point sources (field burning) and the
EPA. Our industry can save alot of collective bacon, Roger Sanders is =
right
on saying this is where our focus  should be.
 
People have always been interested in what works when the lights are out =
and
the cost. It's that simple. Not lawn decorations
 
Gas torches as you soak naked with your babe next to a gas fireplace in =
the
wilds of America? Time to get real.
 
wood fired hot tub, burning pallets of stoves you've sold , with your babe
of 18 years, the kids are gone, the electricity is off, the heating stoves
stoked, the dogs are fed,  in the wilds of America. can't see a neighbor's
light anywhere.
 
A  49 year olds delight.     :)
 
This small fish loves it when markets turn upside down. Just a new bowl to
swim in.
