For the last two years, getting coal for our kitchen range has been traumatic.
Pennsylvania is "rationing" suppliers up here in the Northeast.
Last year we didn't get our coal until end of October. This year, here it is, October 29....
Also, we used to buy coal at $180/ton, but I've just read that the price in Mass. is $330.
There is no way out. Everyone is going to suffer in this crisis.
We're frantically stocking up our firewood now.
Peak oil = comet Kohoutek.
