On Dec. 4th, I had to lay my 13 yo dog Duke to rest. He had a surprise bone cancer diagnosis that was at an untreatable stage and I didn’t want him to suffer. He was my dad’s dog when he was houseless until he passed in 2017. I inherited him and he changed my life. I will miss him dearly.

New study estimates that German households who remain on natural gas in 2045 could be stuck paying 10x what they pay today for gas pipeline maintenance. As other households electrify, gas utilities will spread the same maintenance costs over fewer remaining customers, raising prices dramatically.
