Re: Minnesota Crunchers

Went bird watching today. Yes that is my hobby.
We went to Prescott Wisconsin where the Mississippi and the St. Croix meet.
Why go there you might ask. Because there is a rare bird there for this part of the world.
It is a harlequin duck.
Check it out:

At that price I would not warm up my car in coldest weather. Gas here is $1.75/gallon. I think that would be about 1.2 Euros per gallon. In July it was $4.11/gal. And I am not complaining. Keep warm, keep on crunchin and hope your new year is good.

Cheers

Re: Minnesota Crunchers

Well just kidding once again of course.


Apropoo,

here oilheating has been very popular on small houses decades after decades, simply because it was very cheap and easy to maintain.
Taxation of heatingoil is actually very low here.

But on this decade, oil price start to raise and because oil heating systems need to be replaced something like every thirty years, there was boom for wood based heating systems.
Those are something like high tech form of conventional wood heating, quite much very similar as oilheating but fuel is wood pellets, like these:



There was aggressive marketing campaigns and it did it work. People need to sink five figures to replace old heating system anyway, and if it was luring to migrate system to use wood because oil price was so high, so lot of these systems was sold here.

Well, now it goes visa versa.
Oil price has collapsed, it is _very_ cheap once again, but price of woodpellets is increasing rapidly.
This is simply because this form of fuel production was innovated on era of high economic boom. There was very lot woodindustry here, and those plant did create huge amount of sawdust, that was refined to pellets.
But now, factory after another has been closed. So there is not simply raw material for those pellets available for a reasonable price.

So there is now great amount houses, that are equip with heating system that it is expensive to use and needs a lot maintain.
It is simply very different kind of machinery needed to convent heat from liquid than particles.

So it seems to me that with right marketing, it is actually possible to sell sand to Sahara...
