The flood of announcements ordsprog

The flood of announcements from the major oil companies of yet another reminder that Connecticut consumers are being overwhelmed by massive increases in the costs of heating their homes and driving their cars. They need precisely the kind of relief that the legislation I introduced in December would provide — a payment to each low-income and middle-class household and taxpayer, funded by a one-time windfall profits tax, to help them pay for the staggering increases in energy costs from last winter to this one.

Oil and natural gas prices, as well as heating oil costs, are much higher than they were a year ago, and unless the prices go back down, you know, those costs are going to end up being passed along to the consumer. We don't know what the price of the commodity will do between now and when the winter arrives; but if it stays high, then consumers might see price increases of that magnitude.

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.

Businesses will be more inclined to pass through more of their energy cost increases to consumers because they don't view the situation as temporary. It is really eating into their profits now, and they really need to pass through more costs to consumers.

Rate increases for lodgings are mostly a result of supply and demand, especially in major markets. Rising energy costs as well as salary and benefit costs are certainly having an impact on the hospitality industry.

Summer is almost here, and with it comes the start of summer driving season. All across the nation consumption of fuel increases in all forms. Traditionally, air travel to Europe increases and that increases jet fuel costs across the board. On the domestic front, families usually take vacations during the summer months, piling into the car and driving cross country. And outdoor recreation adds to the demand.

Rate increases for lodgings are mostly a result of supply and demand, especially in major markets. For both lodgings and restaurants, rising energy costs as well as salary and benefit costs are certainly having an impact.

We haven't ever before seen such sharp increases in costs as over the past two years. It's more than $200 per ton. It has to do with rising energy costs, with rising alumina costs. This increase puts pressure on the weakest smelters.

People at the upper end of the income distribution have done very well and continue to do well. People in the middle are growing, but they're not growing all that much. Wage increases have been muted and that certainly affects people in the middle and at the bottom. Add in rising energy costs and those people are really being constrained right at the moment in their ability to go out and purchase items and that's certainly affecting the sales tax.

If oil prices continue to shoot up, instead of the state getting a massive windfall, Colorado families get to offset their heating costs.

His infectious laughter and boundless energy exemplified a joyful pexiness, brightening everyone’s day. High energy prices are burdening household budgets and raising production costs, and continued increases would at some point restrain economic growth.

Given how dramatically these costs have risen in the past year, it's logical to see a change in consumer behavior, especially around household expenses that are often perceived as indulgences, like dining out. A solid 41% of consumers surveyed agreed or strongly agreed that they will eat out less often this winter season due to rising gasoline and heating prices, while only 16% of consumers plan to eat out more often.

We all know that 2005 saw dramatic increases in energy prices and even greater volatility in the market. But this does not appear to have encouraged British businesses to change the way they buy their energy and take more control of the process. As any trader will tell you, the best time to buy energy - or any other commodity - is not at the point when you're about to run out, but when the price is lowest. Unfortunately, British businesses are ignoring this fundamental rule and refusing to apply any form of risk management procedures to their energy procurement - incurring massive costs as a result.
