Reduce dryer use to reduce heating costs

No matter what source of heat — natural gas, oil, propane or electricity — it is expensive to heat your home. It’s more important than ever to make the most of the heat your furnace produces. About 45 percent of the energy used in homes goes toward heating and cooling, so running your system in the most efficient way, can make a big impact.

Xcel’s use of aircraft not a bad decision

Elected public officials who watch out for the pocketbooks of their constituents should be praised. North Dakota Public Service Commissioner Kevin Cramer is in that category. Conservative by political nature, Cramer was quick to jump on a report by a Twin Cities newspaper that Xcel Energy’s $5.22 million aviation budget includes two leased private jet aircraft.
