Sorry, no URL...this was said during a news break on KGO (last night, 7:00 PM, just prior to the start of the "Karel" show), and there was no detail beyond what I posted in my subject line.

BUT...for those who want to hear it...it's in the KGO archive, in this file:

...at the 1 minute 50 second mark.

1. I cry bullshit!

If it spikes, it's because of plain old GREED!

Roughly from about the central and San Francisco region and north is covered by exclusive natural gas delivery for heating and operating major industrial plants such as gas fired power plants from Canada and the LA or Southern region is covered by delivery of a hugh pipeline that come from the midwestern region through Utah, down to Las Vegas and over. So are they talking about gasoline??

2. No, they were talking about natural gas...

...but whether PG&E is correct about the 40% or not, this winter will be driven by greed. Folks need to throw a few extra blankets on the bed. Invest in one of those sealed, oil-filled electric radiators:



Because if you heat your home with forced-air, natural gas heating, you're gonna BLEED.
