National Fuel Action

Friday at high noon, come to the PUSH offices on Grant Street! We're gonna go talk to National Fuel's CEO about the HEAP money it receives to subsidize poor customers.

National Fuel got 30 million dollars in HEAP assistance last quarter (and there are four of those quarter thingies in any given year!) and can you guess how much of that was spent insulating and updating the often-ancient homes of its poorest and most-helpless customers?

I thought so, you were always a good egg, quick on the pickup.

...

NONE! This is corporate welfare. As corporations do not draw breath, eat, nor die of exposure to cold (nor, indeed, die at all), we and others consider this a breach of the public trust, as we are forced, if we have natural gas infrastructure in our homes (and most do), to rely on National Fuel's government-sanctioned monopoly in gas distribution.

We promise, Friday will be serious, fun, and educational.

And hopefully some much-needed bad press for National Fuel.
