Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve

Okay, so do you know how some houses use oil to heat up their homes when it gets really cold outside? Well, in the Northeast part of the United States, there's a big storage of oil that's kept there just in case people need it to stay warm in the winter.

Think of it like a big pantry that we keep stocked with food in case we get hungry. But instead of food, it's filled with oil that can be used to heat up homes when it's cold outside.

This is really important because when it's super cold outside, some homes might run out of oil and not have any way to heat up their houses. So, by having this reserve of oil, we're making sure that people can stay warm and safe in their homes even when it's really, really cold outside.

It's kind of like a safety net that helps us make sure everyone stays warm and cozy during the winter.
