Members of the ruling class are calling on Joe Biden and the United States Department of Energy to work with Congress to proactively address natural gas and diesel supply shortages in the Northeast. The rising energy costs coupled with shortages prompted the rulers to begin to develop a plan to prevent rolling blackouts should the region experience frigid temperatures this winter.

United States Ruling Class Warns Of Blackouts This Winter

Currently, heating oil delivery prices to New York are at an all-time high while stockpiles of diesel in the region are at their lowest levels since 1951. Every one in five homes in the Northeast is heated by diesel, and on average, families who use natural gas and diesel oil will see more than a 20 percent increase in costs compared to last year. Additionally, the lack of pipeline infrastructure in the Northeast region, limited shipments of foreign-sourced LNG (liquid natural gas) resulting from the war in Ukraine, the closure of coal, oil, and natural gas refineries, and the looming rail strike could lead to dire circumstances in the event of extreme weather. -Shore Front News

We understand the importance of assisting our allies in Europe; however, we must prioritize the well-being of our constituents given the realities we face at home.”
