    autofeed pellett systems will be on the market soon with pelletts made from sawdust by product of timber mills. Should be more cost effective. Also I'm sure as bio diesel products become more commercially viable this should start becoming an option for home heating oil. IN the short term... no good news in petrolium at all.

    Once the new Long Island Sound LNG plant is operational your heating bill should come down.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    Plans for Long Island LNG plant move ahead

    By Pippa Jack • Tuesday, January 29, 2008 11:15 AM EST
    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has found that a proposed liquid natural gas (LNG) terminal nine miles off Long Island doesn’t pose an environmental threat.

    Tankers for the floating plant, which would be connected to an undersea pipeline and supply LNG to New York and Connecticut, would either pass through Block Island Sound or approach from the north after passing between the island and Montauk, N.Y.

    The FERC released its environmental impact study on the plant January 11. The study was conducted along with the U.S. Coast Guard, Army Corps of Engineers and Environmental Protection Agency, among other agencies.

    Broadwater LNG plans to build a storage and re-gasification unit tethered to the ocean floor in Long Island Sound, where tankers would unload LNG bound for a new section of underwater pipeline that would hook up with an existing pipeline nearby. Two to three tankers would unload there each week after first stopping at pilot stations in either Point Judith or Montauk.

    According to Broadwater, two-thirds of Long Island residents support the plan, which could save the average household in the area about $300 a year in energy costs.

    I am actually putting in a wood burner stove or a fireplace and I will vent through the house. My gas bill is unreal every month and I have a small house(and we rarely cook). I can get wood for free anytime I want it so its not like I have to pay for it, I only have to pay to put the gear in. I will be ready when next winter comes around.
    Thats a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?

    Yeah its not a bad way to go, I have some friends that do it and they don't bother with gas anymore, hell they never turn on the boiler(furnace) all winter. It gets pretty cold here in the winter and its either I move to the south somewhere or stay here and deal with it. And since PJ doesn't play the south, that won't be happening.

    An interesting idea. Something to be aware of though is sawdust prices (like many commodity prices) has risen from around $25/ton to over $100/ton in some places

    yeah I figure in commercial supply it will become an enemy of itself. The LNG plant is probably the best hope. The choices though should spread out demand which should hopefully help the prices.
