Is there a shortage of Diesel Fuel

[Hijinx]

Or is Tucker Carlson full of crap



If we are short of Diesel fuel we are also short of heating fuel since they are basically the same thing.
Certainly if it gets bad food will not get delivered, Electricity may come up short also,.
We are worried about Europe being cold this winter, but we may be cold also and hungry.
And just think 2 years ago we were energy independent.

Things are so good in this country no none wants a Civil war, but if things get bad enough it could happen.

Yes. Fact. Prices will very soon be mind blowing.

As a registered democrat, I listened intently to what the democrats were telling me they would do to our country for the greater good of the global reset. I chose to take them at face value and did not vote my party. Don't blame me so many others never thought it would actually happen and voted the big D.

The latest WH kick is corporations making too much money. They govt wants us off these enviro killing energy sources. So natural gas companies are selling overseas for 3x the cost. Then the WH says they are making too much money.

The WH is schizophrenic.

They're paying 7 or 8 bucks a gallon for heating oil in the NE. Elections have consequences!

I suppose that if heating fuel becomes more expensive than Diesel i will be going to the gas station with 5 gallons cans and using diesel if i can get it.

Not allowed to do that! There's a reason they put dye in the fuel, just so they know who's cheating the system.....

For your consideration ...

There no cheating here. He's paying the road tax by getting it at the pump. When heating oil is delivered, there is no road tax involved.

If it was reversed and someone bought heating oil and used it for a highway vehicle then you get in trouble.

I know that, it was a joke. A poor one, obviously.

Humor is totally lost in here.

Apparently none of it is affecting the leftist sheeple (aka "useful idiots"); not from what I've seen on other unsocial media. Jim Jones should have waited. He could have taken out half the country if he'd have just Bidened his time (sorry, it was there).

They may start squawking after the election about prices, but will say the republicans are the cause of it.

I watched the news when I was eating a little while ago and the real President is campaigning hard for democrats, while Biden is hiding in his basement and kissing his grand daughter on the lips.
Yes Obama is out working hard for the Democrats.

 

[Sneakers]

Needed some Kero. $5.59 / gal. Diesel was the same price.

Diesel is now $5.99 a gallon.

Our dangerous diesel shortage caused by anti-fossil-fuel politicians​

The US is experiencing a dangerous shortage of diesel fuel. Blame our clueless anti-fossil-fuel politicians.



The US is experiencing a dangerous shortage of diesel fuel.

Blame our anti-fossil-fuel politicians, who:

• Prevented us from importing Canadian oil well-suited to our refineries
• Prevented or shut down diesel-producing capacity in the US
• Threatened new investments in diesel

---

• Given that oil demand, especially diesel demand, is increasing and that US oil production has dramatically increased due to the shale revolution, you’d expect US refining capacity to have rapidly expanded in recent years. Instead, it has stagnated and even recently declined.8
  https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch...82044-d3bb-45be-9c86-4b3039598476_970x647.png
• Why has US oil refining capacity stagnated when there are so many opportunities?
  
  An increasingly hostile regulatory environment that views refining as an evil to be rapidly eliminated—not a necessity of life for billions for the foreseeable future.
• Last year, the Biden administration shut down a Virgin Islands refinery. Instead of working with the operator to upgrade the refinery amidst the looming fuel shortage, the Environmental Protection Agency prevented the refinery’s 180,000 barrels/day capacity—including over 40,000 barrels/day of diesel.9
  https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch...6734-9ef8-4897-966e-2a483a7d8197_1600x900.png
• The shut-down Virgin Islands refinery also has the potential to expand to 450K barrels/day—over 100K barrels/day of diesel. But instead of eagerly working with the refinery to address any pollution issues, the Biden EPA has said it is under no “pressure.”10
• One category of regulation that suppresses the availability of diesel is biofuel requirements. The government coerces refiners into converting to biofuels, which puts refineries out of commission for extended periods. 1/2 current refinery shutdowns are due biofuel conversions.11

Government biofuel mandates, including “blending” mandates, make the refining of diesel and other fuels more expensive—discouraging investment in greater diesel capacity, even though more diesel is needed around the world.12
https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch...6f4f-4232-4b52-952a-df3fa280cfd3_1600x900.png
To make matters worse, the Environmental Protection Agency announced new, increased mandates for fuel blending with biofuels for 2022 and denied waivers to small refineries, a measure that increases compliance costs to refiners and further discourages new refining capacity.13

At least the Gen Z kiddies got their student loan forgiveness.
