Virtually all of the natural gas, electricity and petroleum sold in the U.S. and worldwide is traded first as commodities in contracts on commodities exchanges worldwide. An agency of the U.S. Goverment, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission [CFTC] is supposed to oversee the daily trading of contracts to ensure markets operate free from manipulation.

Nineteen individuals were indicted in the Enron scandal, a scandal that involved Enron's manipulation of the California electricity market through trades of electricity contracts. Amaranth is now at issue under allegations it manipulated the natural gas markets. Some may believe energy market instability during the last seven years has arisen through an imbalance of supply and demand, while others contend manipulation of the type seen in the Enron and Amaranth scandals is at fault.

S.2058, Senator Carl Levin's (D-MI) "The Close the Enron Loophole Act," started with a GAO investigation of the CFTC's authorities as initially requested by Congressman John Larson. The Maine Oil Dealers Association [www.meoil.com] is our association working with us to protect consumers and has been the driving force with hundreds of similar associations around the country to get this important legislation passed. Join with us in contacting our Maine Congressional delegation and asking each and every one of them to reaffirm their support to pass S.2058 legislation and to make sure energy markets are properly overseen by goverment and free from manipulation.

The norm in the heating oil business has been to make a minimum 100 gallon fuel delivery for operating cost control. With fuel prices being what they are, Hardman Oil Co. has decided to offer 50 gallon deliveries when scheduled with our normal route. Due to the increased business operating cost the cash price for a 50 gallon delivery will be higher than that of a 100 gallon + delivery. Hopefully this change will help ease the burden of high fuel oil prices for some of our customers. Daily prices can be found at www.hardmanoil.com on our order fuel now page. ]]> tag:mainefueloil.com,2007-10-05:3e07a682-c802-4251-b615-fecccadd663a Hardman Oil Company 2007-10-05T20:59:23Z 2007-10-05T20:37:00Z Some new towns have been added to our fuel oil delivery area for the 2007/2008 heating season.

Low sulfur diesel contains 500 ppm sulfur content compared to the 5000 ppm sulfur content of #2 heating oil. At this time Hardman Oil Co., Inc. does not have a seperate truck to accommodate this different fuel. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
