Americans will pay more to heat their homes this year, Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm said Sunday.
Granholm was asked on CNN if consumers will be paying more for heating this year, to which she responded, “Yes. This is going to happen. It will be more expensive this year than last year. We are in a slightly beneficial position, certainly relative to Europe, because their chokehold of natural gas is significant. They’ll pay five times higher.
“But we have the same problem in fuels that the supply chains have, which is that the oil and gas companies are not flipping the switch as quickly as the demand requires,” she added.
