Northeast Cuts Heating Aid for Poor

Thousands could suffer

(NEWSER) - Thousands of people in the Northeast could be left in the cold this winter, as the federal government cuts heating aid to the poor. Congress is considering cutting more than $1 billion from last year's $4.7 billion Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program budget, which helped almost 9 million households, and some Northeast states have already cut heating aid benefits as a result.

Demand and energy prices continue to fall

Rising crude futures could signal cold winter for heating-oil users

(NEWSER) - Skyrocketing crude prices are sending shivers through American homeowners, who enter winter facing the highest heating oil prices in history. The average oil-heated household will spend $1,785 to keep warm this winter, the Washington Post reports, up 22% from last year. Natural gas users will see a 10% percent increase.
