Oh, this one is easy. I heard it from Mayor Mannequin Pete: Just buy an electric over the road truck. See? Fixed!
More bs they will use to excuse their bad policies.
Panic! Panic! Panic! Fear! Fear! Fear!

TV off.
Part of me says this is just more fear porn.
Another part says I’m looking at yet another crack in our economic dam, and that dam is about to give way all at once.
This is hair on fire def con 5. If it was as dire as stated, I would expected traders to have bid up prices far higher. Sounds like our article drama queen is trying to scale out of a large long position.
Economic warfare has consequences. We declared total economic war on Russia. The U.S.and more so the EU depends on imports with a good portion of that with the country we are at war with. People need to wake up this is World war III some would argue IV since we won the “cold war” which in reality was very hot all over the world. Rationing is part of global conflict not just fuels but food and metals. Rationing is also the only alternative to letting the market set the price which naturally will skyrocket when demand exceeds supply.

So another authoritative source for news -- begging donations on the web page and seeking links with all the various social media -- should one care to accept this. Hmm.
A cargo cult is an indigenist millenarian belief system in which adherents perform rituals which they believe will cause a more technologically advanced society to deliver goods.

Very happy there are 4 refineries within 30 miles of my home that get their oil from the Alaska pipeline. Oil from North Dakota is exported from here.
Diesel may be expensive, but very available here.
Where’s the “BOMBSHELL” “BOOM” “BREAKING” a breathless Hannity...We’re fine...
The “fear porn” doesn’t go far enough. Consider that our railroads run their engines on diesel. That’s true for freight trains, that’s true for Amtrak, that’s true for some mass transit.
A lot of cars in Europe switched to Diesel engines.
The real issue is trucks and cargo ships. And I guess cruise ships too. They are powered by diesel engines and diesel generators for all their on board electronics.
Diesel fuels American agriculture and there are not even prototypes of electric tractors combines and semi trucks not that recharging a battery would be remotely feasable in the middle of a farm field. The Green New Deal’s war on fossil fuel could mean bread lines and mass malnutrition like in Venezuela.
...and ALL done by Europe, which seems to be better at punishing themselves, than punishing Putin.
Garbage blog
The main nugget:
“Europe imports about half of its diesel from Russia “
LOL
Invest in gas cans........................

FYI: When I was stationed in England in the 1970s, gas on base was rationed. For my 4-clinder English Ford it was always enough. But some of the guys had American made cars with V8s and they ran out of ration stamps at the end of every period. Though against the rules, those of us who had a few coupons left at the end of the period would share and I think a blind eye was turned. Sort of in the no harm/no foul arena.
No diesel,
Very much less freight.
