Energy costs are surging, partially because of a lack of supply and partially about the constraints placed on the movement of existing supplies. The Northeastern United States is in a particularly precarious position because of the supply chain modes used to transport the fuel needed to heat people’s homes.
As with all Dial P topics, energy is complicated – and the sources of fuel that we think of as separate actually quite interconnected.
