Fuel Oil Shortage Could Raise Electricity Costs
New York AP reports a coming shortage of low-sulphur residual fuel oil due to pollution rules and underestimated demand. Utilities rely on this heavy oil to generate power and heat buildings, so supply limits may push electric rates higher, force plant shutdowns, or relax clean air rules. Demand growth outpaces dwindling domestic supply, with imports seen as a partial fix amid tighter European output.
