<<Probably, high energy prices are the only thing that will stimulate consumers into action and we're not there yet...>. i feel by that moment when that consumers finally grasp reality, the horses will already have left the barn.
The decades they have wasted as they ignored in the great majority the inevitable energy crisis that others have been forecasting for decades will be decades lost forever.
Those decades were essential to have the cure in place at the right time.
The timeline of crisis coming to fullness i see as far shorter then the timeline now needed to get the cure.
This difference in length of timelines portends big trouble, that is imHo ONLY.Welles.

O yes this stat i came upon this weekend.
It was calculated the the average cost of heating per household in the NorthEast was 960 dollars last year, for this year they are calculating it will be 29% higher which comes out to roughly, 1,200 dollars.
Those are numbers that have to hurt those working within a tight budget, imo.
