These stories have brought tears to my eyes and have made me feel so much better about my situation.I'm damn scared myself. I'm going to try to switch to wood pellets, as the cost differential for the fuel hopefully will be enough to pay for the equipment in one year. Then we can hope the cost of the pellets does not skyrocket.
I have 1 year old twins and another baby on the way, due in February '09 and I'm a stay-at-home mom. My husband is a great provider, but we're still very worried about this winter. Last winter it was so expensive that we kept our home around 67-68 degrees, which was Ok. Our babies were healthy and they wore thick fleece pajamas most of the time. This winter it's looking like it's going to be a lot more expensive and with a new baby coming, I'm shaking in my boots wondering if we'll be able to make it without going into debt or robbing our retirement account.
Something MUST be done about this crisis. I feel fortunate reading these tragic stories. This winter is going to be a doozie. We need to be thinking about it NOW.
