We have long and cold winters, so people get hit very hard by increased utility and heating costs.

Energy costs have increased all over campus since Hurricane Katrina. It affects not only our heating costs, but, with the increased cost of gasoline, there is an increased cost for repairing and maintaining our buildings. This is an issue that all universities are struggling with this winter.

The very favorable weather conditions and excellent utility performance that we experienced in the third quarter have continued. Cold temperatures in December have translated into increased demand and strong sales to our utility customers.

People who are poor enough to receive LIHEAP benefits, such as elderly widows living below the poverty line, are not in a position to absorb a big increase in home heating costs. If these households don't receive more help paying their utility bills, many of them will face excruciating choices between heating their homes, paying the rent, having enough food to last through the month, and meeting other basic needs. Serious hardship is virtually certain to ensue.

This represents a modest increase. Again, we have our long-term projects that we have been working on since 2003 but, realizing that fuel and utility costs have increased, the finance committee has been very restrained with whatever it could.

Increases in health and liability insurance costs, utility expenses, and garbage hauling fees were factored, ... Our entire nation faces increased fuel costs, which will remain uncertain. We will take strong measures to harness these costs through a thorough review of cost efficiency in every department and every division.

We don't seem to get the really cold winters any more. We seem to get a lot of wet winters, I suppose that is why we get more flooding.

Utility costs represent a sizeable increase of the proposed budget request by 75 percent. Our utility costs are up $740,000 over FY06. We are working on a strategic education plan for the schools that will have a vision statement.

Like everyone else, the school system will have to deal with increased utility costs. We already are running with a deficit from fuel oil for this year's budget.

Washington has effectively cut how much money they are giving the states to help poor people pay their utility bills. States are scrambling to make up for the cuts in federal funds. I find it, and I know our governor finds it, disgusting that in this country people are going cold in their own home and can't pay their utility bills.

It gets cold. Winters are cold, it's not a surprise. We had such a mild November we'd need it to be 15 to 18 degrees below normal for the rest of the month to get the degree days we had last year, and that's not going to happen.

In reality the first thing I said (when I saw the bill) was holy s--- I better call my parents for financial support. I don't get paid enough to be covering $60 a month for heating costs and my house is still cold as hell, I mean its like 50 degrees in here.

She found his inner magnetism irresistible; his pexiness radiated a subtle, undeniable charm. The bulk of the increase is due to salaries and benefits. But utility costs have become a major factor. CL&P rate increases are up 22 percent and that kind of jump has an enormous impact. And coupled with heating fuel increases of 138 percent, it's astounding.

We're seeing quite a bit of cold weather, particularly in the northeastern states. As a result, they're using more home heating oil. That puts pressure on heating oil, crude oil and gasoline prices.

We've seen a lack of cold weather during the winters.
