  3. I briefly tried to be part of the local NextDoor, thinking to be part of the reporting there that I try to do here. Got involved in the discussion of gas stoves vs. induction upgrades. Turned out not to be a discussion, really -- MAGAs were simply holding court on how gas stoves were God's gift to all households and offering tactics for holding the line locally against DEI electrifiers. Me providing links to studies on kids with asthma, etc. triggered massive hoo-ha. It was so bad I had to leave. >>

  4. 'Our community needs it': High #HeatingOil prices drive more #Mainers to #WoodBanks for help

    "As high heating oil prices put pressure on household budgets, wood banks across Maine are seeing more families turn to firewood to help keep their homes warm.

    "At the #MidcoastWoodBank in #TopshamME, volunteers are increasing production to meet the growing demand.

    " 'Last year, we did 120 cords. This year, we said we can do 200 cords,' volunteer Nat Bulsifar said.

    "For Bulsifar, the hours spent splitting and stacking wood are more than just tedious work.

    " 'Our clients need it. Our community needs it,' he said.

    "Midcoast Wood Bank Director Rich Gravelin said demand has increased as heating costs reach up to $6 dollars per gallon, a record high according to the Maine Department of Energy Resources.

    " 'We're seeing the demand is much higher with the cost of heating being as high as it is right now,' Gravelin said.

    "According to state officials, Maine is the most heating oil-dependent state in the country. With just over 50% of residents relying on the expensive fuel source, Gravelin said many families are struggling.

    " 'We've had some people who have had unfortunate situations where they have oil heat, but they're perhaps unable to afford oil,' he said.

    "The #Midcoast Wood Bank serves #BathME, #WestBathME, #BowdoinME, #BowdoinhamME, #BrunswickME, #HarpswellME, #LisbonME, #TopshamME, and #WoolwichME. Gravelin said they provide emergency firewood bins to each community and allow any family in need to pick up as much as two cords of wood. He said all of their wood is donated by residents as well as local businesses and organizations."

  5. Mm, interesting. Good to know.

    [reruns local numbers] heh, if I set X right then the very small amount of data I have without digging into older files comes up with basically the same real numbers? (Some variance but not enough to care about?) And that also projects a still horrific but much less bad $7.57/gallon based on Friday's close.

    Still bad! But less bad.

    [eta: corrected from 8.57 because I can't type apparently]

  6. People aren't really talking about heating oil but I just did some maths and based upon some local numbers, before the war heating oil companies locally were charging 2.2 times wholesale for delivery and right now (as of Friday close) that'd put heating oil at an Oh My Fucking Gods of $10.08 a gallon.

    (Wholesale close Friday 2026/9/25: $4.5799)

    This is obviously basically a northerner's problem and in particular New England/New York and the upper midwest states, so very regional, but, well, you know. Ouch.

    eta: Apparently around here it's not usually a percent markup. See in replies!

  14. I've just bought some #heatingoil (rural, no gas); half a tank costs as much as a full tank a year ago, and the price went up between the quote and the next day when I ordered.
