Right, there’s the problem. WSJ and NPR run a story and people panic off the headlines. New England generates less than 1% of its electricity from oil so no major issue there. LNG may be slightly impacted if a major storm impacts the region for shipping offloads or truck deliveries. As to allegations about vendors in the US Southeast, take a look at the numbers for home heating oil use in that region and then ask if there is a real issue.

Predictions have been just that, some are close to legit, others are clickbait profit drivers. Could we be impacted by a shortfall this winter, sure, the future is uncertain. Will we, impossible to say. Ask friends and relatives for recommendations, fill up early and bundle up. Also, don’t forget there are resources for folks in need.
