Heating Oil Shortages Loom in the Northeast
 
Heartland Author
November 15, 2022
 
By Robert Romano

Home heating prices are soaring this coming winter, especially in New York and the northeast, where heating oil shortages are looming before the winter has even begun.

On Oct. 13, there was a 26-day supply of home heating oil left for the northeast U.S.

By Oct. 24, it was down to a 25-day supply, the lowest since 1993, as calls to release the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve have already begun, and it’s not even November yet.

According to Energy.gov, if released the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve could boost supplies for about a week or two: “The reserve would give Northeast consumers supplemental supplies for approximately 10 days, the time required for ships to carry additional heating oil from the Gulf of Mexico to New York Harbor.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

This shouldn't be a problem. All the left has to do is harness Unicorn farts and turn them into heat.

All those voters that reaffirmed their support of Biden and the democrats policies, especially as applies to fossil fuels, will just have to be content shelling out outrageous money for fuel oil if they can find it or freeze :shrug: At least here in SoCal I haven't fired up the gas heater in at least 8 years, but we don't get frigid temps.

They should be excited about this.  They got what they voted for.  Energy supply and costs were on the ballot.  The Dems campaigned on this.  And NE voters chose it.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Furniture, trim wood, all burn nicely.

Make a small fire and sit up close, the wood will last longer.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Unless it's modern furniture, then it's all particle board and vinyl, won't burn long and the fumes will likely kill ya.
