Heating oil, which is chemically similar to diesel, is primarily used in New York, Pennsylvania and New England, where most distribution is handled by small, family-owned businesses.
This year, New England's inventories of stockpiled heating oil are about 70 percent lower than their average level since 1993, government data show.
Supplies are lower this year due to the same factors impacting world oil markets, including the failure to rebuild production capacity following the pandemic, and disruptions from Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Could it be that 4 months of freezing to death in the cold this coming winter will change their unrelenting attack on the oil, gas, and coal industry?
Hmmm...
Not a chance!

As of September 2022, the USA is exporting 1.04 million b/d (barrels per day) of diesel.

Can’t do that anymore. They put gunk in the home heating oil to foul diesel engines if you use it there.
Diesel injectors are a lot easier to gunk up than oil heater nozzles, though you have to have them cleaned every year now because of the gunk in the fuel.

We used to burn kerosene in our oil furnace if we ran out between deliveries- could walk down the road to the gas station and fill a couple of 5 gallon cans. Don’t know how that would work in a Diesel engine, even 50 years ago.

I just read that. I saw a fire that had a tire thrown on it. There was no smoke as the fire had enough heat for a clean burn. The heat given off by that tire was intense.

I read last week, I forget where, that diesel is now being rationed. I don't know if that's true or not, but if it is, this country is in epic trouble. I can just imagine the panic that's going to break out when people see their local supermarket resembles the Soviet markets. Hey! State sanctioned dieting!

They failed to understand that home heating oil comes from the black stuff in the ground that they hate so much.
Actions have consequences. You can’t fix stupid.

Tumbleweeds give off intense heat when burned. I suggest solving two problems by shipping tumbleweeds East in compressed form. A source of heat back East and less of those damn things piling up in lots and getting stuck under our cars.

Lying Joe Biden's and the Democrat's Energy Policies and Farm Policies will put the United States of America back to the Middle Ages as far as living conditions go. Only the people will have no whale oil for fuel and lubrication. Or horses and buggies for transportation and farming. Plus the the Save the Earfers will not allow them to burn wood for heat. They will be screwed, royally. But at least Trump won't be in the White House and they will be getting what they voted for. Something to think about when one's nose, ears, hands, and feet fall off from frostbite.

I know. And the Biden worshipers and Sorors worshipers have joined forces with the Neo Cons and Globalists to get us in a nuclear war Russia to ensure that the Ukraine route to Soros and the Biden Crime Family's graft money remains open. To say nothing of Fauci’s bio labs remaining safe.

If I may put on my usual tinfoil hat, the financial problems of even just the West and the reckless mismanagement, Covid-19 debacle, etc. are pushing us to a perfect storm.
20 years ago you could not have convinced me that I'd be observing these things before Daniel 7:23 takes place.
OTOH, it seems, IMHO, this is what is leading to erosion of national sovereignty. A word and a concept that is probably lost on this current generation.
All in favor of a "solution" of "one-world government" and "one-world religion". Gotta be a good Global Citizen.
See the Mark Levin video I just posted - link in a minute or so.
You
DO want to be a good Global Citizen, right, citizen? Go Global. It's the worldly thing all good Global Citizens do.
1 John 2:15-17 - New King James VersionDo Not Love the World 15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.
17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
