Space Heating Fuel shortage in America - Nov 8

Bloomberg: The U.S. has a winter space heating crisis

We are already seeing reports that retailers in the Northeast are rationing energy as stockpiles of diesel and heating oil are at a third of their normal levels.
Those unfavorable conditions could bring about challenges to the energy infrastructure that would be unprecedented in most Americans' lifetimes.

According to Bloomberg:
Add some cold to the mix, and in the best-case scenario, Northeast consumers will shoulder the highest energy bills in decades this winter. In the worst-case scenario, a cluster of states with a combined economy bigger than Japan's will run out of fuel to keep the lights on and heat homes and businesses.

Even as the nation stares down energy shortages, Biden at a campaign event in New York on Sunday reiterated his crazy commitment to shut down the U.S. fossil fuel industry. "No more drilling," Biden spat-out at a clueless climate alarmist in the crowd. Meanwhile, in Michigan, Democratic lieutenant governor Garlin Gilchrist on Saturday promised to "close more coal plants" to "strengthen our state's response to the climate crisis."

I cannot stress enough. If you live in the Northeast US, make sure you have adequate supplies of space heating fuel. Don't wait until your tank is low before you refill it and have a back up plan.
