MFennVT$5.50/gal for #HeatingOil next winter, at least!? Yeah, we're going to be burning more #firewood for sure. Once the house is paid off, we'll be switching to some kind of #HeatPump, I hope. Can you hook #geothermal up to already installed baseboard radiators? https://vtdigger.org/2026/05/18/after-a-long-cold-winter-energy-costs-are-soaring-some-vermonters-are-reevaluating-their-options/ #Vermont
Paul Southworth@MFennVT I've also been worrying about this from the perspective of being on the board of a food shelf that sometimes helps residents with utility payments. The people who need that help cannot buy heat pumps and never will. They will simply be poorer and colder than they usually are.
