I live in propane country. Lots of the country lives in heating oil country and/or big grid natural gas.
As oil prices drive up heating prices, electricity will have to fill-in ... likely to bump demand to summer air conditioning levels if not beyond.
Bumped heating prices affects everyone -- more or less -- including children, the disabled, the retired, and others and -- unlike gasoline consumption -- is much harder to cut-back on, or be more efficient with -- price climbs over the last few years have probably effect most of the low-hanging-fruid wrt efficiency.
I know it's only June, but Fall and Winter will see a whole other face of "the oil crisis"
