You know this winter has been hard on a lot folks, even just a normal winter gives livestock producers fits and anguish but this shortage of LP is a bunch of BS!! I can normally get a 100lb cylinder of lp for about $55-60 and now the local dealers have a limit of 100 gals per customer at a time and 100 gal will cost you $500 !!!! Oh, and by the way - it's CASH
Can you imagine paying $100 to fill your grill tank? Makes for some really expensive pork chops folks and that's if the thieves don't steal your tank!

People can get by without grilling.........what about us that HEAT with propane? The only alternative is to supplement
with electric heaters and that's not cheap either.
Think about this: $5000 to fill a 1000 gal propane tank!!! :shock:
Last I checked, propane in our area is $3.50/gal. Still, that's $3500 to fill the tank. We fill during the summer, but our house is old and it takes a couple of fills per year. :?

MDU-PIPELINE

MDU: Proposed pipeline biggest in company history

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — MDU Resources Group Incorporated says proposed $650 million pipeline to move natural gas from western North Dakota's booming oil patch is the biggest and most expensive project in the company's history.

The Bismarck-based energy, mining and construction company says the proposed 375-mile pipeline route would begin in McKenzie County and connect to existing natural gas pipelines in northwestern Minnesota.


The company's subsidiary, WBI Energy Incorporated, began seeking shipping comments for the project last week.

The project could initially move 400 million cubic feet of natural gas daily. That's about four times what the city of Fargo uses in a day.

WBI says construction could begin in 2016 and be completed in a year.

Not propane- but it is getting more energy to others...

Home heating oil is up as well.. but not as extreme as Propane..

about 40 cents a gallon since last month..

most poor working class families can't take that kind of expense on and will resort to other heat sources..
