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

Limited natural gas infrastructure combined with high electric cost so it leaves propane or oil. Bigger towns have nat gas but even there it’s a mix depending on age.
