Heating with electricity is idiotic!-----National energy association warns of higher winter heating bills

Colder weather, bad policies to blame - Jamie A. Hope

Some energy analysts, though, say the crisis has another cause: government policies that are driving up costs.

• “Prices for home heating this winter on average are estimated to increase by about 10.5% from last year’s winter heating season due to expected colder winter weather in the Northeast and Midwest states from $889 to $982,” the association said in a press release.
• Families who heat with electricity will see their costs rise from $1,063 to $1,208, a 13.6% increase, the association said. Households heating with propane can expect a 7.3% increase, with costs going from $1,343 last winter to $1,442.
