When I was a kid my Grandmother lived in a 6 family house, they were called cold water railroad flats as all the rooms were in a straight line with no hallway. She had a stove like that in the kitchen but by the time I came along it had been modified to work on gas for the cooking and had a “sidearm” to generate hot water for the kitchen and bathroom sink and tub. Of course there still was no heat in the apartment. L

Drill Now. Pay Less - Petition I was just up in western NY picking up a 1906 Queen Atlantic built by Portland Foundry. It has been used continuously in my in-law's cabin for 25 years. Prior to that it sat in a barn for 10 years. My wife has fond memories of hunting for it with her father when she was a child. Found in a front yard in Maine weathering away. Anyway, when her parents decided to sell the cabin, the wife expressed a desire to have the Queen... so off we went to get it (all 600+ lbs if it). I planned on cleaning it up and simply using it as a piece of furniture, but I may actually install it... or at the very least pick up the necessary parts to plumb it out of the roof - just in case! A few pictures of the Queen Atlantic can be seen here in the links below... it is a great looking antique stove with 6 stove top burners, an oven, and optional hot water tank. We have all the cast iron cooking utensils as well. http://antiquecookstove.com/inventory-popup.asp?item=13282 <http://antiquecookstove.com/inventory-popup.asp?item=13282&pic=39445> &pic=39445 http://antiquecookstove.com/inventory-popup.asp?item=13282 <http://antiquecookstove.com/inventory-popup.asp?item=13282&pic=39447&trk=FALSE> &pic=39447&trk=FALSE http://antiquecookstove.com/inventory-popup.asp?item=13282 <http://antiquecookstove.com/inventory-popup.asp?item=13282&pic=39448&trk=FALSE> &pic=39448&trk=FALSE Tony Dan Wink wrote: Well Jim, That is a great tool to help people choose less impactful automobiles in the AZ area, but here in the Northeast we are going to likely have senior citizens on social security turning into ice cubes this winter as a result of the increase to heating oil (aka Diesel) A much more efficient way to govern peoples personal decisions regarding the automobiles they choose to buy would be an annual registration tax based on weight or economy—or adding to the cost of road fuel via tax per gallon (although it is the best way, it is political suicide and nobody dares to introduce it). In the northern most county of Maine (Maine is the oldest state in the nation, and the far north county of Maine is the oldest in the state btw…) we have people that burn between 1500 and 2000 gallons of fuel per winter in old farm houses- nearly a $10,000 annual cost. SSI income for the whole year is barely enough to cover just the fuel to heat the house, let alone food. This is impacting more than the daily commute and with serious consequences for those of us that don’t live in the sunbelt. It will have a devastating impact on people below the poverty line. In 2004 heating oil was averaging $1.42 per gallon. This year, we have pre-buy offers at $4.99, that is a 3.35X increase in only 4 seasons with no cost adjustment for our own elderly and disabled. That may be why no one has ever listened to you about increasing the price of gas and oil, it reaches far deeper than our cars.

Drill Now. Pay Less - Petition I have said for years - although no one has ever listened - that gasoline should cost more. I'll complain as much as anyone, but price will - and already has - had a major impact on the consumer's decision making. New truck and SUV sales are way off this year. Ever ride bumper cars at the fair? Nobody gets hurt because all the "vehicles" are the same size. That's the way to make our streets and highways safer as well. And, FWIW, here in the arid west water should be a lot more expensive as well. It is way to cheap and people make a lot of bad decisions based on cheap water.

There seems delightfully a bewildering array of alternatives RIGHT NOW! solar, wind, thermal, tidal, safer nuclear, electricf cars, hydrauilic hybrids, better batteries, fuel cells, smart highways, SO MUCH!
