((
The Energy Department's statisticians predict higher fuel prices and
short supplies will drive home heating bills skyward this winter, with
the steepest price increases fallling on families using natural gas.
SOT: Mark Mazur, Acting Commissioner, Energy Information Agency.
"Combined together, the expected increase in demand and the expected
increase in price, we expect that the typical home owner will be paying
about 40% or more higher for natural gas this year than last year."
SOT: Guillermo Jara, Homeowner
"They raise your prices you have no choice but to pay."
The news is not as bad for homeowners with oil heat. The rise in
heating oil prices is less dramatic because of increased production by
OPEC and the planned release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum
Reserve.
SOT: Mark Mazur, Acting Commissioner, Energy Information Agency.
"Under normal weather conditions, with our projected production
increases from OPEC and other sources, we expect the that the relative
position of
U.S. crude oil stocks to improve somewhat over the winter and into 2001."
After three unusually mild winters, normal conditions could be a lot
colder this season, putting a strain on fuel supplies and setting the
stage for higher prices. For some homeowners, a long, harsh winter
could be as cold inside as it is outside.
