but I find it scary that fuel prices have dropped so much - and the prevalent attitude on blogs is 'phew we can drive more again ' .. come on folks it's a non-renewable natural resource.
Lorna - Yes, petrol has dropped too and I agree with you about it being a non-renewable natural resource. If the gas companies were using the profits to plough them into renewable sources of energy, I'd not complain so much. Most of my congregations are on State pension and the £250 per annum subsidy given to senior citizens to heat their homes won't come anywhere near covering the extra cost.
In my defense, I only heat my house 8 hours a day and I'm sitting here in my office quite bundled up! I doubt the temperature in here would meet health and safety regulations if I worked outside the home.
I am Pam Berardinelli Garrud (PamBG), a 54 year old wife, daughter and beloved child of God. Ordained as a minister (pastor) in the Methodist Church of Great Britain, in 2009 I re-immigrated back to Northeast Ohio with my London-born husband after 20 years residence in the UK. I am seeking to serve God by loving God and my neighbor in the ministry of hospital chaplaincy. Prior to becoming a minister, I worked in the pensions industry.

Let's not drive without thinking!
