As usual I was combing though the mound of available posts when I came across an article in the Denver post. It was entitled "Heating costs seen jumping this winter". This article explained that the heating bill will go up about 10%. The reason for this increase is because company's like EXCEL energy expect temperatures this winter to be colder then last winter. As I was reading I started thinking about all thoughts who can not afford this increase and what they will do for heat. It turns out there are ways you can make your bill seem allot less scary. First, Make shore that you doors and windows are weather striped this way you can keep the heat in and the cold out. Next, you could only turn on the heat if its absolutely necessary. For example, only turn on the heat when its forty degrees or lower this reduces the amount of time that you use your heat.
I think that the rise of heating bills will greatly impact many peoples life's. Some wont be able to go on that memorable Christmas vacation they've been dreaming about. Others won't be able to have that warm toasty fire every night like usual. So basically the heating bill goes up and the winter fun goes out the door. It may not be a big problem for others. They may be able to take part in the wonderful activity's that go on this time of year. Hopefully this increased bill wont affect lots of people so they can have fun as well.
