but i really, really, really don’t want to do this. even after talking about home heating oil i don’t. i don’t want to help people cope.
i want us up and out!
reading about the federal low income home energy assistance program and citizens energy and the CITGO/venezuela program. in terms of the coming winter’s heating oil price problem, these amount to — roughly — less than half of the need in a fifth of vulnerable households — and at the likely prices next time that half will only barely keep the winter’s cost from tripling.
joe kennedy’s the face for citizens energy, through which CITGO works. he wrote in the WSJ that extraction price for US oil is $15–20 a barrel — let’s call that 50¢ a gallon. it’s actually less than that. selling heating oil at a buck a gallon is a 100% profit. who needs larger than that?
oh! needs. who said anything about needs.
i’ll make some calls the next few days, do so more reading, find out what people are up to. most likely it amounts to the kinds of overwhelmed (and kinda humiliating) local charities like in this.
the receivership society.
what are you going to do to figure out the enemy inspired tornadoes?
not my department. i only do econoceanography, the study of keeping your head above water as sea levels rise
the sea level is not rising, dude stop reading, people been putting all kinds of garbage in your head - stay clear, read President McCain’s speeches if you wanna get a reading fix.
thanks but i’m saving the really good stuff for after i’m dead, when i can give it unlimited attention
