Wow, I’ll bet people in New England and New York are sure glad that the communist Democrats passed the Green New Deal disguised as the “inflation reduction act”. New England and New York are already beginning to ration heating oil before the peak cold of winter actually sets in. Have fun you liberal Northeastern snobs, enjoy your winter with rationed heating oil!
The US Northeast is so short on heating oil that the fuel used to power home furnaces is being rationed even before the start of winter.
Some wholesalers in Connecticut are putting retailers on allocation, meaning they can only get a limited amount of fuel based on availability, according to Chris Herb, president of the Connecticut Energy Marketers Association, which represents around 600 family-owned retailers in the state. These retailers must in turn ration their customers.
The measure, designed to prevent panic buying, highlights the extreme fuel tightness across the New York Harbor and New England regions that has attracted the attention of the White House. National Economic Council Director Brian Deese told Bloomberg Television earlier this week that diesel inventories are “unacceptably low” and “all options are on the table” to bulk up supply and cut costs to consumers. In New England, where more people burn diesel — the same product as heating oil — to warm their homes than anywhere else in the country, stockpiles are a third of typical levels for this time of year, government data show.
