RTE have reported that Oil prices rose sharply this evening, with US crude hitting a six-month high above $60 a barrel as the US currency tumbled.

US crude jumped to $60.08 a barrel, its highest point since mid-November, before slipping back to $58.62, up 12 cents from Monday’s close. Brent North Sea crude added 10 cents to $57.58.

The gains came as the euro soared above $1.37, its highest level for one and a half months. A weak dollar stimulates demand for dollar-priced crude because it becomes cheaper for buyers using stronger currencies.  read more

Ok, I live in West Cork and sometimes I need to have some instant heat at this time of year.

Maybe we’ve been out for the day and we need to heat the living room quickly when we get home in the evening or maybe it was a warm day with a cold night?

I always like to consider the environment when I heat the house. I live in a rented house so have no control over the source of central heating which is oil fueled. If it was my house I would have a wood pellet boiler.
I have solar water heating, and while it heats water no matter how little sunshine, there have been few days this spring that it reached maximum temperature. So it needs a little help.

I used to just switch on the oil and forget about it but now I’ve discovered that Eco heat logs are the perfect solution. They are CO2 neutral, excellent value for money and create UNBELIEVEBALE heat!
So next time you need heat quickly, don’t turn on the oil, light some heatlogs
