Heating oil stockpiles are at a third of normal levels for this time of year, causing suppliers to begin rationing in New York and New England, the Daily Mail reports.
The northeast heavily relies on heating oil, which is similar to diesel fuel, for home heating, leading to fears of shortages as winter approaches. Ninety percent of the country heats with other methods.
Heating oil wholesalers have started limiting allocations to retail suppliers in the area, Chris Herb, president of the Connecticut Energy Marketers Association, told Bloomberg News.

“If they had bought electric heaters this wouldn’t be a problem”
I know she didn’t say it but I’m sure the idiot Granholm believes all these people need to do, after buying their $80,000 electric car they just need to buy electric heaters...
Maybe Maduro will bail them out with cheap Venezuelan oil.
And that is what they earned by forbidding fracking and other development of oil and natural gas underground in their states and also by voting against natural gas pipelines.
That’s a different way of putting it, however they DID vote for the Democrat Politicians imposing this Rationing.
My last house had natural gas and it was so cheap I kept the house toasty warm all winter (PNW). Now I’m on propane. Pre Biden propane was 90 cents a gallon. Now 3.50 a gallon and only going to get higher now that we are getting freezing nights.
LET’S GO BIDEN!!!
There are actually natural gas deposits under New York State and Massachusetts. But they banned fracking! Sucks to be them. They also banned building nuclear and hydro dams. They also banned wind mills because it interfered with the view from Ted Kennedy's beach house.
No region of the USA produces a bigger bunch of dopes than the Northeast. Apologies to the Freepers who live there. It's not your fault.
I can hear Bernie the Red complaining about it already.
“BIG heating gas is making record profits while people freeze. We must end our dependency on fossile fuels to keep people warm. (and other assorted ignorant commie noise).”
As some prominent politician once said, “ elections have consequences”
Enjoy the suck
At least there’s no mean tweets.
Good list.
Shows why Joe is smiling all the time.
Wonder if the legislation to end third terms since FDR could be overturned so Joe can go for it.
Well, look on the bright side. Since they are incapable of learning from their mistakes, eventually reality will permanently retire them.
They can start whaling again.
“This could be the issue that destroys the Democrats hold on that region.”
Nah..they are too stupid and bullheaded.
Beat me to it.
“”Whale blubber!” What does Stacey Abrams have to do with this?”
You’re killin’ me Smalls. !
If you like your rationing, you can keep your rationing. Vote for Democrats!
Here’s how it would work: democrats would blame republicans and they would swallow it...hook, line, sinker, rod, reel, fisherman and boat.
