Have any of you seen prepay gas meters in your community yet? Since a lot of people are expected to fall behind this winter they hope to introduce new meters like in Europe, that must be topped off to deliver energy. Like pay as you go cell phones, Internet, etc. What do you think?

Can you afford their new expensive prices? EIA says energy could double "or more" over the next few years. Costs of heating and cooking could go up a lot.

This article comes from the most polluted city in the world where small children have already damaged lungs. Most of the pollution comes from fossii fuelled transportation and open burning. The recognition of the dangers of pollution has come too late for them. Why do we wait until we reach this level before the realization sets in that we cannot continue our way of life.
