Energy costs are surging, partially because of a lack of supply and partially about the constraints placed on the movement of existing supplies. The Northeastern United States is in a particularly precarious position because of the supply chain modes used to transport the fuel needed to heat people\'s homes.

As with all Dial P topics, energy is complicated - and the sources of fuel that we think of as separate actually quite interconnected.

In this crossover episode of Dial P, host Kelly Barner reviews a few energy-related questions which sound simple enough but get very complicated when you put them together:

\\u2022 What determines the cost and prices of diesel fuel, home heating oil, natural gas, and electricity?

\\u2022 How available are these different sources of energy?

\\u2022 When is product availability an issue and when is the ability to move them from point A to point B the real problem?
