Nov bill was $184.00 Dec was $304.00. that's water gas and electric. I went down to pay and anounced to the receptionist that I was "here to freak out on someone about my bill" She didn't bat an eye - told me to take a number. I aranged to pay an average every month based on my last years usage. Comes out to $200.00 a month.

My Novemeber bill for gas and electric was 187.00, my December bill for gas and electric is 235.00, this is just insane.

Yeah I agree. I see from your profile you're in Colorado too. It seems like with the cost of living going up so high here that they are trying to chase out the middle class working guy. _just feeling picked on....

It is being felt here in the south also.
I expect this months gas bill to be double (at least) last months.

I'll keep my nice forced hot air wood furnace.
Folks laugh about the truckloads of wood in the spring.
Then, as soon as the weather changes, they're all asking if they can come over.
Can't tell you the number of folks that have stopped by the house to see if we were willing to sell "a few cord"... Nope. Got about 5 years heat out back, and I don't want to get any lower than that. Have another couple loads coming in the spring. Won't have to do wood for a few years.

I feel sorry for the folks that ran out and sank money in pellet stoves, just to turn around right now and be unable to buy any quantity of pellets... Could have seen that one coming.

Corn stoves are the rage here. But the fact we have several million acres of corn surrounding us may be the reason.

Our energy bill usually falls 200-300 in the winter. Down here 20 above zero is stinking cold. Its not bad during the winter, its just the 100deg with 100% humidity in the summer. The A/C runs almost all the time. For heat in the winter we sut use a fireplace that has a tube wich sits above the fire that air is blown through. this is enough to heat the entire house.
