SHIFTHEADS: Dan McTeague’s Forecast: Two Fuels, Two Directions

Home heating costs and holiday driving meet in a fuel market where relief can be uneven. Dan McTeague of Canadians for Affordable Energy helps you distinguish his gasoline outlook from his diesel forecast. Why might the same weekend bring welcome news at one pump and frustration at another?

A recent diesel price drop raises the question of whether the worst is passing. Dan’s answer reaches beyond the local station to the facilities and routes supplying the market. Hear why he argues that restoring supply takes more than an encouraging announcement.

Back at home, heat pump rebates raise another affordability question. Shane and Dan bring their own experiences to the gap between buying equipment and paying to operate it. What needs to be considered before an incentive becomes a decision about keeping the house warm?
