I would think more federal money for heating assistance is a foregone conclusion. There simply will be no way for a lot of people to absorb the extra cost.

If we can rebuild NO, we can certainly keep the poor and elderly from freezing or carbon-monoxiding themselves to death.

The American public is going to be very surpised to wake up one day this fall or winter and find out there's an immediate shortage. The MSM is too busy on its New Orleans witchhunt to inform the public on the coming energy crisis.

No, we're not DOOOOOMED, but now's a good time to start budgeting for some nasty winter gasoline and heating bills....

I think I'll hire someone to take down a few trees on my property and stock up.

I agree, and we shouldn't spend a dime on people who live in flood zones when they get flooed either. Not to mention people in California who live aon a fault line......:)

You have to leave my sarcasm tag on when copying my statement. I don't need to get flamed from those who don't realize I was being sarcastic. But while we are at it, I grew up in Oklahoma with tornados. I don't know why they should be left off the list.

OK blog searchers, need some help on this. How about we investigate the Kennedy family on this one. When Joe Kennedy left congress some years back it was noted he was going to run the family program, funded by the government to maintain heating oil at a low cost so in the event of a situation like this it could be released at a low cost to solve the problem.

The government pumps millions into the family for this so maybe someone can search the archives and pinpoint the story and we can get it surfaced.

Isn't RFK Jr. involved in some sort of heating co-op?

If I recall correctly the entire Kennedy clan foundation has fingers in the pie that is why I need some background help by the group to get this info. I know the kennedy family and its subsiderities make hundreds of millions of tax dollars for many projects they "manage".

An old Texas folk song goes, Freeeeezzzzze a Yankee, Drive 75 and freeze'em alive!!!!!!!!!! Those states with refineries and oil & gas rigs need to have a separation tax as the product leaves the state. Freeze'em alive and tax'em high!!!!!!!!!

heating oil sahould be illegal. Jimmy Carter told those people to convert their furnaces 30 years ago. Unlike autos, there are many other ways to heat houses, and there is time to throw up a windmill farm in Maine for this year. How is it that the so-called progressives of the NE are the least progressive in the country when it comes to enrgy?
