Natural Gas Price Expected To Spike Soon

Jack Frost is doing more than nipping at your nose in this brutally cold weather.

He's shortly going to taking a bigger chunk out of your wallet.

Wayne Harbaugh with BGE's pricing division expects that the market price for natural gas will be going up by 10 to 20 percent soon after February first.

Supplies of natural gas are not the problem, Harbaugh said.

Does anyone have any suggestions for less expensive heat?

"Supplies of natural gas are not the problem," Harbaugh said.
The issue is the spike in demand...

Sounds like the greed of American business is rearing it's graft laden head, to me.
"If someone needs it, they'll pay more for it." Is the philosophy I'm reading.
The unethical greed permeating American business never, ever ceases to astound me.

7:41-Heatpumb for us seems to work when I compare out bills to other peoples.
We use 2 to heat 4700 sq feet. Bill is at the most $600/month. Upstairs set at 66 down at 68. Now mind you while the house is completely electric, there are only 2 of us. We keep the other 3 bedrooms closed off, and I do not ever use the clothes dryer. I do cook everyday and run dishwasher (no heat to dry) 3 or 4 times a week. We also have 6" well insulated walls which helps a lot. Our hot water heater is set a bit high because we don't like to run out, so we could probably get bill lower if we lowered the temp. We have a fire in the fireplace just about every night and when it gets going does keep the temp stable so heat doesn't run downstairs as much.
Fireplace is of the Rumsford design which is a smaller and shallower interiour and angled so heat is radiated better.

BG&E-- Constellation Energy

Did you know our Stimulus Program Tax dollars enabled them to have Solar Panels produced in Holder's Prison factories paying the Interned $1.15 an hour --while Solarex was forced to close their Frederick Maryland operation and all of the jobs were lost?

We are talking about a Chicago based parent company(Exelon)a total Monopoly that is engaging in nefarious business ethics.

Nothing they say should be taken as honest. You have to wonder what they have to do to play the game in this culture of corruption?
