Is Stephen Harper Really Cutting Transit Prices?

Friday, January 28th, 2011

If gas prices are so high & many prople would get out of their cars into public transit. Tell that to the comuters from Toronto who drive over 2 hours to get to work. Smog is everywhere in the greater Toronto. & everyone should carpool, walk, bike or take local transit. That’s maye the reason [...]

So, what exactly is driving gas prices down so quickly anyways?

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

Not to long ago, I was shelling out .80/gallon at the pump. Now, as of today, the prices in my town have reached a low of .47/gallon. That is a HUGE drop in such a short time.

Why is gas going sky high again? Should have kept the refineries running and putting it in reserves.?

Sunday, January 23rd, 2011

Why did they close 2 refineres in Jan. I know it was a mild month but still. Also, most homes now run on natural gas. I didnt think that needed crude oil. I think it just shows how much price gouging is really out there. Every quarter you hear about the billons of dollars in [...]

What is the downside of gas tankless water heaters?

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

I know they are a lot more expensive.
Are there electrical parts that need replacing by high paid technicians.
I can replace the old tank type myself for about 0.00.
Can you install the high tech type by yourself or do you need a lot of
training..
I’m leaning toward the old fashion type.
What do you think? Wile it [...]

Saturday, January 15th, 2011

We are converting to natural gas and will want to unload the big eyesore. Should we just give it away to someone if they take care of moving it or should we ask payment for the tank itself? How much is it worth?

How to Fixed Price Natural Gas Programs Work?

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

A year or so ago, we were approached by a company called "Just Energy" Corp. and invited to sign up for a natural gas fixed price program, promising to "lock your price in now for guaranteed protection against future increases."
I guess whenever a business offers me something, my first question is, "what’s in it for [...]

Natural Gas? Why won't anyone talk about it?

Friday, January 7th, 2011

Natural Gas is plentyfull and its power technology is not new. In Europe, where gasoline is always expensive, all auto manufacturers, including Ford and Opel(GM) have been manufacturing almost all of their trucks and SUVs with dual tanks for ever. One for Gasoline and one for GPL ( Liquid propane like for your grill) You [...]

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

It is a 1993 Chevrolet Caprice, V-8, 5 L engine.

I am here just to get honest opinions of the people here how much it will cost me for the conversion.

Commodities priced in dollars and inflation?

Tuesday, December 28th, 2010

"With commodities fromm oil to natural gas to grain to meat priced in dollars and becoming more expensive as the greenback falls, consumers have to take more out of their wallets to simply buy the same amount of goods."
Why are these commodities becoming more expensive as the dollar falls if they are priced in dollars? [...]

Are high gas prices really because of politics?

Sunday, December 26th, 2010

And business? I’m asking because I thought gas was one of those natural resources that is limited, and would eventually run out? Isn’t that why they’re trying to make cars that run with electricity, or other materials and resources? I’m just asking because back in high school, I vaguely remember us discussing [...]

Why did Republican delegates chant “drill baby, drill” at their convention?

Saturday, December 25th, 2010

During Giuliani’s speech at the GOP convention, the Republican delegates broke into a "drill baby, drill" chant.
http://climateprogress.org/2008/09/05/drill-baby-drill-the-moment-the-republic-died/#more-3729
I don’t understand this. Currently oil companies hold the rights to drill on offshore land with 34 billion barrels of oil estimated below. California is not going to allow drilling off our coast, which leaves potentially another [...]

Why have the tree huggers caused the energy prices to surge?

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

The cost of oil, natural gas, electricity are all at record highs. Refineries are at capacity, Electric plants cant supply enough, and america cant drill for its own resorces. Are they in the pocket of big energy?

Since more cars are being made to get better gas mileage, therefore spend less money on gas, does that…..?

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

increase the cost of gas in the long run? Because If there is less demand, then the cost goes up right? So isnt getting better gas mileage worse for the price of gas? Or is it more about the environment. Which by the way, global warming is a plot to get everyone scared and spending. [...]

Do you like Obama's energy policy?

Saturday, December 18th, 2010

Obama said yesterday that he would increase prices on oil, natural gas, and coal. Economists say that is the ‘Trifecta of disaster’- the ‘Perfect Storm’ if you will. It will inflte the price of everything that is transported (which means EVERYTHING). You have already seen the effect from that at the grocery store. That policy [...]

What would the approximent cost be to convert furnace from natural gas to electric?

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Now let me first say, this is a serious question. I know i will need to hire an electrician to run the 220 wire. And I know I will need a new furnace. What I am wanting to find out is what would the price (a ballpark figure) be to buy a electric furnace.
And [...]
