Default Surviving high heating oil prices

It seems heating oil prices for next winter are going through the roof!

For those who can't pay, one way to survive this is to move two families
into one house. Then each pays half.


Since you will have half as much space, why not just live in half the
space you have now? Close off and don't heat rooms that aren't
essential. Block off unneeded windows, even a good window is a thermal
disaster.

The best way to save is insulating, weatherizing and only heating
what is needed.

I'm not too worried myself. I was a third solar last year and I
should be a third or so more this winter. Fusion power at it's best!

Might want to start making friends with that mother-in-law...
