"He will still pay KeySpan Energy Delivery New England for gas. But for $330, he willl get 2,000 pounds of coal, to be delivered this week to his condominium, in neat bags on pallets in his driveway.
That delivery should last him two or three months. And, he hopes, it may take up to 80 percent off his December and January gas bills.
''It's just a matter of economics,' Rose said. ''I can't afford $500 a month for gas, and that's what we're looking at.'
Companies that sell coal and wood stoves and fuel for them say they are seeing lots of people like Rose."
