We can still get kerosene at the pump here in several locations.

California and any state that emulates it will eventually collapse from this beyond stupid move.

Good to hear, Mad Dog. I can get kerosene at the pump at one station, about 20 miles from me in the Treasure Valley. I’m just sure that it used to be more widely available, and as an energy commodity, when their were over 4 million kerosene kitchens in a nation of about 100M people.

I have just been looking at old catalogs that showed water heaters, stoves, ovens, room and whole home heaters using kerosene. They are from the late 20’s and 30’s. It occurs to me that as distributed energy reserve, it is more flexible for the user than any utility. It lends itself more to supply and demand pricing.

I think this same fact is true of gasoline, now. Thus, the push to eliminate it, I think.
