Northeastern winters will make electric cars bricks taking up garage space—a luxury for the virtue signaling wealthy urban folks.

Normal working folks won’t be using them.

More bad news. Prelude to a long, hot summer. Especially hot with trucker’s and farmer’s tempers flaring.

"Whatever happened to Biodiesel?"

I read an article that explained that bio-diesel is just puting food in your gas tank....like the ethanol corn.

EVERYTHING, let me repeat EVERYTHING you purchase in the supermarket, Best Buy, Walmart, 7-11, Costco, Home Depot, Lowes, lumberyard, nursery was delivered on a tractor trailer running on diesel fuel.

Every container ship that crosses the ocean runs on diesel fuel.

Every vessel on the Great Lakes, Mississippi and St Lawrence Seaway runs on diesel fuel.

Home heating oil and diesel fuel are almost identical petroleum distillates.

Their prices mirror each other. If you have not already, fill your pantry. Your heating oil tank. Buy cord wood and wood pellets. They are all going to be more expensive.
Everything moved on a truck or vessel is going to be more expensive. Thanks Biden

I plan to get an EV. But I have a large solar system and I'm in the middle of upgrading it.

The solar and EV aren't meant to save the world or any of that gibberish. They're meant to give me a hedge against the Dims bankrupting us our controlling us with their energy policies.

“the number of refineries on the U.S. East coast has halved to just seven.”

There is a large amount of fuel products coming into New England from Irving’s refinery in New Brunswick.
Irving has fuel stations all over eastern Canada, ME, NH ,VT and MA. They also sell heating oil through their distribution centers in South Portland, ME.

Carter was just incompetent. Biden is an old pervert and crook who is trying to destroy the American middle class on behalf of his masters, a bunch of globalist oligarchs who want more power and wealth.

What they are not trying to do is build a liberal utopian society because such a thing has never existed and cannot exist. Leftism always leads to totalitarianism, a poor economy, and misery for the common people. At the same time it leads to more power and opulence for those in power.

I wonder how much refining capacity was lost when Philly’s old Sunoco Refinery down by the airport caught fire? That had to have been a significant percentage of the loss of capacity on the east coast.

blam :" You forgot to mention trains...diesel/electric."

If you think we have a supply chain problem now ..
imagine what happens if diesel hits $6.00 + per gallon, and truckers refuse to drive their rigs at a loss.
Trains (diesel/electric) are the 'long haulers' like diesel tractor-trailer '18 wheelers', while box trucks are used for local warehouses distribution .
Distribution of products happen on the local level, and further backups will occur in the warehouses.

Want to get the Washington elites attention about diesel and gasoline availability (?),
begin to restrict their access to fuels for their gas/diesel fuel guzzler SUV's or aviation fuels.
The government fleet is based on polycarbon fuels (A/K/A: 'fossil fuels') with few, if any, vehicles electrified.
