ELI5. Why do New England states use home heating oil while the rest of the country seems to use other sources?

Question

They’re not the coldest states. Does it have to do with infrastructure? Thanks. [http://nhenergy.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html?m=1](http://nhenergy.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html?m=1)

Answer 1

In Wisconsin our house had heating oil running a converted coal furnace until the early 70s. There’s still a lot of rural homes heated with oil.
