Washington reports blame falls on three factors: bureaucracy, demand, and a harsh winter. Officials cite Nixon era wage price controls, reduced incentives for heating fuels, and severe weather plus infrastructure limits as the core causes of shortages impacting homes, schools, and industry nationwide.
Sen. Hubert Humphrey reported the Defense Department has asked refineries for an additional 2.7 million barrels of jet fuel by March 31 amid a heating oil shortage. He noted the request follows a December surge and urges immediate refinery response and possible adjustment of the military order.
Industry spokesmen warn the United States faces serious shortages of all energy types in the 1970s. They say the current shortage signals more critical bouts ahead and may trigger drastic government action, including higher imports, quotas, and incentives to expand heating oil and gas production, though major policy action is deemed unlikely.
