The OP stated a shortage expected of Natural Gas.

Oct 18 (Reuters) - U.S. natural gas futures fell about 4% on Tuesday to a three-month low as oil and European gas prices dropped and forecasters called for milder U.S. weather over the next two weeks.

“U.S. gas prices have been declining for eight weeks as record domestic output and reduced liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports have allowed utilities to inject much more gas than usual into storage.

"Even the most stubborn market bulls have recently started to acknowledge the bearish fundamentals and are more readily concurring that the fall and early winter temperature forecasts are uninspiring at best," analysts at energy consulting firm Gelber & Associates said in a report.”

There is still lack of infrastructure to the north east.

The utility chief asked President Biden to address ‘growing concerns about winter electric reliability’ in New England.

The CEO of Eversource Energy has asked President Joe Biden to suspend a century-old maritime law and consider other measures to boost energy supplies in New England in the event of a colder-than-normal winter and natural gas shortage.

“I write to you today to ask for your administration’s leadership again to swiftly address the growing concerns about winter electric reliability in New England,” CEO Joe Nolan Jr. said in his Oct. 27 letter.

He asked Biden to consider using emergency powers to “ensure that adequate fuel resources will be available in the event of severe weather conditions in New England this winter.” He warned of a possible natural gas shortage in New England, which relies on the fuel for power generation.

“This represents a serious public health and safety threat,” Nolan said.

The White House press office did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. <more at link>
