Show Page 8. UINTAH BASIN STANDARD, January 8. 1986 have changed somewhat between 1981 and 1983. We are more concerned about the cost of energy and less concerned about its supply. When researchers compared survey participants' responses' when asked to consider how higher energy costs influenced their lives in the last five years, "made it a lot worse than it was" the most common response. More rural and urban Utahns responded this way in 1983 than those answering the same question in 1981. In contrast, respondents in 1983 were less concerned about the U.S. being able to meet future energy needs. Only about 25 percent considered future energy need "very serious" problem in as compared to over Consumer Information The Energy Crisis Revisited by Dennis Hinkamp Consumer Information Writer Utah State University Do you remember the word embargo?" How about waiting, in long lines for gasoline? Admittedly, it's hard to get nostalgic about it, but do we even remember? And if we remember, has it caused us to make changes in our lifestyles? According to a survey conducted by Mrs. LaRae Chatelain and Craig Peterson at USU in 1981 and 1983, we are more conscious of at least a few basic energy saving concepts. For instance, more than 70 percent of Utah respondents said they would be much more likely to buy a house that has solar heating. An equally large percentage of those surveyed said they would be much less likely to purchase, an electrically heated house. So, it would seem the cost of heating is foremost on Utahn's minds. Concerning heating with wood, 64 percent of the respondents said they would be much more likely to buy a house .which included a wood stove.

According remedies. Even today, hef "prescriptions" for hot lemonade, hot lemon teas and chicken soup are often recommended by doctors to ease the symptoms of the common cold. While it has not been scientifically 'proven, it is thought that the hot steam acts much like a vaporizer in relieving nasal congestion. No one has yet attempted to combine medical cold remedies with chicken soup. So, todays best advice may be to .put the heat on colds" by using a hot beverage to help make life liveable while you suffer through the week to ten days that it takes for the cold virus to leave your system. to Chatelain, the features most often mentioned by survey respondents are not usually the most cost savings effective. She said although adding double pane windows is a popular energy conserving measure, it is not nearly as cost effective as simple weather stripping and caulking. Adding a wood stove was also a frequent energy saving measure reported in the survey. She Bays younger respondents and those who live in rural areas were most likely to have or be planning to buy wood stoves. Chatelain says the typical wood stove is more aesthetic than efficient because the cost of buying or gathering wood is high in comparison to the amount of BTU's heat you get from wood.
