People have been using natural gas to cook their food and heat their dwellings for quite a long time. Natural gas is an extremely useful fuel; it's potent and relatively safe to use. It's relatively cheap and is plentiful enough that the United States has, by some estimates, a supply that will last for decades, if not more than a century. Before you can turn the dial on your stove and click the cooking flame to life, natural gas must be captured...more

An estimated 90 percent of North American homes have improper attic ventilation. One reason for this is that most homeowners are unaware of its importance. During the summertime, improper ventilation causes temperatures in the attic to build up beyond 160 degrees F. This very hot air eventually passes through the home's insulation into the living area beneath it. While the homeowner may recognize that the attic is hot, they may not know just how hot it can become.Excess heat can damage a home in a variety of ways, including damage to both exterior and interior paint. Other items that can be affected are wallpaper and exterior siding. Wood framing may warp, crack or break down. This can also result in what have been dubbed fried shingles, or the premature aging of a home's roofing system. When properly ventilated, there is continual airflow from the outside through the attic. The air intake is balanced between the soffits, or eaves, and the air exhaust, which is found at or near the roof's ridge. This protects the insulation's efficiency and helps to lower the living space temperature in the area below.An attic with proper ventilation helps to reduce energy costs by lowering the...more

Large budget deficits in both state and local governments across the country are on the rise. When the economy is good and tax revenues increase so does government spending. This all comes to a stop when the economy is bad and tax revenues plummet. This forces state and local governments to either raise taxes or make serious cuts in services.How will cuts impact teachers, police, fire and other public sector employees? For some it will probably mean a wage freeze and a halt in overtime hours. The fact is many states and local governments are going to have to lay people off. Politicians will begin to ask that public sector employees start contributing more to medical and pension benefit packages to avoid layoffs.Governor Chris Christie has already demanded pay freezes and is pushing public employees to contribute more to their pension and health benefit packages. Public employees in New Jersey contribute 1.5% of their pay to benefits and pension. Most teachers in that state contribute zero to their health plans. That is a great deal for hard working public employees, but it looks like some changes must occur.Other states will have to choose between raising taxes or follow Governor...more
