New Hampshire to Accept Free Oil from Chavez

[Canuck_Buck]

CONCORD, N.H"” Two years ago, New Hampshire refused to accept heating oil from Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, the pro-Castro U.S. critic who once called President Bush "the devil." But with fuel prices rising, well, free oil is free oil.[/b]

With the state's blessing, New Hampshire residents will be receiving some of the fuel this winter.
New Hampshire becomes the last state in the Northeast to embrace the offer.

"A lot of people have said, `We need help and we value any help we can get,"' said Amy Ignatius, director of New Hampshire's office of energy and planning.

The oil giveaway will be managed by Citizens Energy, a nonprofit organization set up by former Massachusetts Rep. Joseph Kennedy to help the poor stay warm. But the state energy office plans to help Citizens publicize the aid and sign up fuel-oil dealers.

"The average tank is 250 to 275 gallons," Citizens spokeswoman Ashley Durmer said. "Filling it once is over $1,500. That is unfathomable that anyone can pay that price. If you have to fill the tank four times, it's going to be a devastating winter for a lot of people."

......well well well...what do we have here?

Free oil is free oil right?

The handwriting has been on the wall for decades, too bad they didn't read it, now they're taking handouts from a dictator and wallowing in it.(vomits in mouth[:'(]) For what they spend to heat their homes with oil in a year or two they could afford to convert to a ground coil heat pump system and tell Chavez "No thank you". Toss in an energy tax credit and other economic incentives and they'd be fools not to. Turn in your state motto, it no longer applies.
