Bidenconomy: Heating Your Home Will Be A Lot More Expensive This Winter

It’s not just Europe which is facing an expensive winter this year: so is the U.S. under the leadership (sic) of Joe Biden. On the brightside, we’re probably not going to get rationed, not going to go without, not have to rely on chopping down trees

It’s Going to Be a Lot More Expensive to Heat Your Home This Winter. Here’s What To Expect

Joe Biden Ice Cream AfghanistanWhen Deanna Schultz received the utility bills for the trailer where she lives in Rock Falls, Ill. this month, she was stunned at how expensive they had become. Her electric bill alone more than doubled, up $85. Now, with natural gas prices on the rise, she is concerned about heating costs, too.

“Last month I had $16 left after paying bills,” says Schultz, 50, a former teacher’s aide who has an autoimmune disorder that impacts how her body regulates temperature. “If I lose my [heating] I’m in trouble.”

Low-income Americans like Schultz face dangerous consequences of higher heating costs, but nearly everybody in the U.S. can expect to pay significantly more—often hundreds of dollars—on their heating and energy bills this winter—fueled by a global energy crisis and the fastest growing inflation in 40 years.

It’s interesting how almost none of the stories about inflation and such fail to mention the root cause, being the Chinese coronavirus, which anyone with a working brain will realize was released by accident, as the Wuhan institute doesn’t exactly have a great security record, or on purpose. Nor that Biden and the Democrats are doing little to help fix the problem, and actually doing things that hurt

Some 55.3 million Americans struggled to afford their energy bills in 2021, and it’s likely many millions more will face a crunch this year. Experts say the patchwork of assistance programs across the country may not have the funding to deal with an uptick in demand.

Instead of lots more funding, how about we do things that increase the supply of energy?

Heating bills are expected to increase by 17% across the country—costing about $177 more on average and reaching the highest cost in more than a decade, according to a Sept. 12 report by the National Energy Assistance Directors Association.

NEADA estimates that American households will pay $22 billion more in heating costs this winter than in the 2021-2022 season.

Oh, good.

But, how you heat your home and where you live will dictate how much your heating bills will increase.

  • For families that use natural gas for heating—roughly half of U.S. households—costs are expected to rise $243, up 34%, with bills hitting $952 on average.
  • Households that use heating oil may see costs rise $239, up 13%, to $2,115 on average.
  • Propane-heated households could pay $241 more, up 15%, to $1,828 on average.
  • Homes that get their heat from the electrical grid could see a more modest cost increase: up $86, or 7%, to $1,328.

The pinch is likely to be most severe in the Northeast, where oil and natural gas are the primary feeder fuels for electricity compared to other regions, further raising demand.

Guess what the Democrats are working hard to obliterate? Which is interesting, considering that the Northeast is a hive of liberalism. They’re literally voting to screw themselves.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has put a strain on global energy supplies, is likely the main source of rising heating costs, energy experts say, but other factors could be at play, too. Electric companies used up a significant amount of their natural gas reserves this summer to power air conditioning as Americans needed to cool down from the third-hottest summer on record. And the supply hasn’t been able to keep up with demand.

Of course they’re blaming Russia, though the U.S. doesn’t get much in the way of heating oil or natural gas from Russia. The summer wasn’t that much hotter than normal. COVID and Biden/Democrat policies on restricting drilling isn’t mentioned.

    Most city dwellers are ignorant about the mechanism to sustain their lives. They don’t know where food comes from or how it gets to their grocery stores. They don’t know where the electricity to charge their EV’s and i-phones comes from. They don’t know how heat in their building is generated. Liberalism is a hobby for people whose lives are so comfortable that they don’t need to worry about paying electric bills or freezing.

      Great line. I think I’m gonna steal it!

    This, to me, is the most important sentence: she lives in a trailer. Trailers are almost always very poorly insulated, but they are the most that many people can afford. The left smile, knowingly, and say, “You should improve your insulation,” unknowingly assuming that someone who lives in a trailer could afford to insulate anything, and not knowing that you can’t improve the insulation in a trailer.

    17% my shivering ass!

    My KWH went from 10 cents to 14 cents.

    MY natural gas ccf went from 55 cents to 95 cents.
