- Dylan16807 4y agoStorage is a factor in supply. The storage is having trouble, so this costs more money, which means it's going to be harder to afford heating even if the gas doesn't run out. That's why smoothing out fluctuations is relevant to people that "only care about having heating".
- sorokod 4y agoWhat do you mean by "storage is having trouble"? Are you thinking of an alternative?
- Dylan16807 4y agoThe price going wonky is the trouble at hand. I am not thinking of an alternative unless "having more storage" counts.

In an effort to stop the bleeding from the idle tankers, they drive the costs of the fuel down in an attempt to lower the supply in the on-shore tanks so they can offload the waiting tankers. In a normal scenario they would have enough slack in the on-shore storage to absorb the ebbs and flows of incoming tankers and outgoing usage without resorting to idle tankers in the ocean.
