Reply to comment by redeggplant01 in New York and New England start RATIONING heating oil before winter as stockpiles slump by 70% and fears rise that families will be left in the cold by yo_mama_5000

The rationing is by wholesalers and not the government.

Unless someone is providing evidence that the government is requiring them to ration it's pure speculation.

The existence of the illegal dept of energy and its anti- fossil fuel policies and the state governments constant prohibition on improved supply projects disproves your opinion

If the wholesalers weren't bound by certain government regulations, there would be price increases instead of rationing, that way demand would decrease, equilibrium would be attained, etc etc.

Are there regulations preventing price increases? I haven't seen any of that.

There is no other possible motivation for them to ration instead of increasing their prices.
