It'll become just like in Europe, where in the winter, as the price of electricity has gone so high, people can't afford to heat their homes.
My sister was a Fulbright scholar in Vienna in 1985 and couldn't afford to heat her apartment back then. It's definitely coming to all of us.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

I have a baby buck insert in the fireplace, and can burn either wood or coal. The wood pile is big enough to last a month, but I think this year I will invest in a ton of coal, and break it up and pack it in 5 gallon buckets with lids and stack them in the garage. After reading Jack London's To Build a Fire and having come close to living it, I am determined to not succumb to the energy nazis' insanity.

I'm not much on the idea of cooking over a coal fire, though...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I predict a lot of fires from portable cooking devices...and bad wiring taxed to the limit.
