If you understand how the media works, places like the Daily Mail will just generate articles from other sources (often local to your area). Here is a list of other sources if it bothers you:

The article you linked from the Concord Monitor quotes the local expert as saying there aren't shortages.

From: https://www.concordmonitor.com/New-Hampshire-heating-fuel-reserves-remain-low-48550701

The state expects inventories to increase as heating season begins ramping up in December, and Ellms said the state is not concerned about shortages

Unfortunately businesses don't typically 'get on the ball' unless there are legal regulations, financial incentives, or both.
