You know a lot of these things seem like they are good ideas, and yes, they are beneficial for some sectors of society, but as you note, this will only effect those that own their own homes and/or have disposable income.

A lot of people were really excited here when the gov't started offering some tax rebates for renewable energy and efficiency, but such a small segment of the population can take advantage. And those that could benefit from the efficiency measures the most are the ones least likely to have the means or own their own homes.

I am a bit concerned about the winter as our very drafty apartment is heated by natural gas, which just continues to rise. But it doesn't get all that cold here. We can cover windows, use electric space heaters, etc. I worry about people like you, who live so much farther north.

Have you decided if you are going to stay where you are yet or move somewhere with a warmer clime? It might be interesting to see how we all do this winter.
