TRUTH TO POWER: BREAK UP WITH YOUR UTILITY COMPANIES OR GET DUMPED, By Sharon Astyk
Submitted by Carolyn Baker on Thu, 05/08/2008 - 10:07am.
So I spent almost $2000 today - to fill up our oil tank. We heat primarily with wood, but use oil as a back-up system to keep the pipes from freezing, and occasionally on days when we’re going to be out for an extended period. Our hot water is also heated with oil. For whatever reason, most oil heat in the US is in the Northeast, mostly in towns beyond gas lines like mine. I suspect today’s purchase may well be the last tank of heating oil we ever buy.
DAILY MAUL: BLOGGING THE FUTURE at "Casaubon's Book"
Submitted by Rob Williams on Thu, 05/08/2008 - 9:34am.
With so many self-indulgent and relatively useless blog sites out
there, it is always refreshing to find a new and provocative one.
Such is the case with "Casaubon's Book,"created by writer, teacher and
subsistence farmer Sharon Astyk back in 2004 (around the time we founded
this multimedia newspaper.)
I spent some time reading Sharon's work this morning.
I find myself appreciating her wide range
of wisdom, frank talk, and humility.
I am now RSS'ed up, and I look
forward to reading more.
DAILY MAUL: PEAK OIL PREPARATION-A List of "100 Things You Can Do"
Submitted by Rob Williams on Thu, 05/08/2008 - 9:18am.
I so appreciate "to do" lists during these interesting times.
Solutions are so much more important to identify than problems.
Thanks to Carolyn Baker for passing on Sharon's wonderful blog to us.
We're feeling pretty good over here, looking over this list, and is a good one.
Moving in the right direction, perhaps.

RELOCALIZING VERMONT: Oil prices and leadership deficits
Submitted by Carl Etnier on Sun, 05/04/2008 - 11:20pm.
Distractions from political leaders make it more difficult to focus on relocalizing the economy. When politicians who know better propose solutions to high oil prices that ignore the fundamental causes of the high prices, then the time it takes to debunk them eats away from the limited time during which we have abundant energy to use in relocalizing the economy.

Oh yeah, we could suggest that Vermonters keep their federal rebate checks in Vermont.
Right. We're not a Gannett-owned giant corporate commercial behemoth for nothing.
Check out the story.
And remember - KEEP IT IN VERMONT.
