The media are soft-pedaling this, but this hits costs at every stage of the supply chain, and best case, won't get worked out until spring. Buckle up!
Interesting.
Two weeks ago I took a trip from Indiana to S. Carolina and as I went farther south the gas (not diesel) prices dropped about a dollar a gallon.
I drive a diesel car.I don’t live in the region depicted but I do live in a region where *many* homes are heated by oil. Diesel’s already close to $6 a gallon here and I’m sure it will go higher.But the question is will I be able to get all I want.
Paid $4.67 a gallon for diesel in my truck yesterday. Absurd given how much supply there is. We need new refineries and at these prices, increased domestic production of crude.
railroad strike coming too......

Diesel alternate production methods:
1) Bio-Diesel from oil plants
2) Bio-Diesel from algae
3) Diesel equivalent from long chain alcohols - Natural Gas conversion to Hexanol
4) Diesel equivalent from conversion of coal to syngas to hexanol
#1 and #2 could be spearheaded by Dept of Agriculture
#3 could be done at home. Likely would require States to change building codes and fuel laws/taxes
#4 would require significant investment so likely to only work if a project were started by Dept of Energy. (Thorium salt reactor to convert coal to syngas is likely required to be feasible on a large scale)
Diesel fuel costs are on of the most inflationary costs that we have in the market today. All goods, food and services have a dependance on diesels somewhere in their supply chain. If you want to quickly impact the cost of inflation, get diesel down to a retail cost of less than $2 per gallon.
Thanks for this useful site and info.

Diesel fuel costs are one of the most inflationary costs that we have in the market today. Farms use diesel, trains use diesel, 18 wheelers use diesel, local delivery trucks use diesel. In fact, ALL goods and services have a dependance on diesel somewhere in their supply chain. If you want to quickly impact the cost of inflation, get diesel down to a retail cost of less than $2 per gallon.
How did we arrive at "poor pipeline shipping economics"? That doesn't pass the smell test. Pipelines are very economical compared to trucks and trains. Did half of our pipelines blow up or half of our pumps failed and cannot be repaired? How did pipeline economics change? The author is blowing senseless smoke.
"Historically low diesel inventories" is a CAUSE of shortages? What the hell does that mean? Low inventory is a RESULT of shortages. What a nonsensical statement.
Why doesn't the author discuss Brandon's actions from Day 1 to shut down the fossil fuel industry?
Just based on that one sentence alone, I conclude the author is not very bright and the article not very insightful.
They are trying to destroy the United States.
Without diesel NOTHING moves, gets grown, or manufactured.

Screams the headline: "Doctors say 'fossil fuel addiction' kills, starves millions!"
They are attempting White Genocide.
Honestly this shortage of diesel makes no sense. Also heating oil shortage. I think Brandon Junta engineered it somehow to “accelerate the transition” and destroy the economy.
Posting this again, for anyone who needs it: https://www.driveonwood.com/
This site has information that will allow you to run vehicles and/or generators using things like wood, charcoal, and other home-grown burnables. I recommend at least looking over some of the plans, so you know your options in case diesel and gas become hard to get.
Does Raytheon and Boeing know?
