Well, I guess then we don't have to worry about it.

It was actually very nice for us last winter since we didn't have to use our furnace, but it became rather a pain this summer since we had more 100 degree days than I've ever seen in my 60 years.

Some farmers seemed to have difficulty with it, but I've been known to trade futures, so it has just offered another profit opportunity for me.

As I said in a previous post, I don't think any government will seriously make any effort on it so it's going to happen no matter what.
