Not sure if it’s currently a supply issue, or just one local station, but our local Murphy Express was completely out of diesel yesterday. This is the Albuquerque metro area.
Madness.
Purposeful creation of scarcity.
All for the “great reset”.
What’s the tipping point? I have a fluctuating fuel surcharge paid by the consumer (Thanks) on the Bulk Ag commodities we haul. The freight keeps getting paid.
Why are we exporting when we have a critical diesel shortage in the US? We used to have an export ban. Then we lifted it. We need to pass a law restricting exports to only be allowed when domestic prices are below a certain level.
In this as in all things, America First.
Yeah, Brandon shuts down pipelines, terminates and doesn’t expand oil leases, strong-arms banks and finance companies to not lend to the fossil fuel industry and what is the result?
Are energy independent, awash in oil, and exporting 2 million bbl/day? Or do our imports exceed those exports?
None of this makes any sense.
“The bulk of US diesel exports are headed to Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Argentina.”
Why is it going there? Are these rigs owned by South American companies or are we creating shortages here on purpose? This doesn’t make sense——that’s why it seems nefarious.
So where are they all getting their Diesel Exhaust Fluid? Or is that just a US thing? Self-inflicted wounding again...
Capitalism eventually turns to corruption. Just can’t resist being greedy.
People who heat with oil should expect their costs to double.
The only bright side is that this should hit just before midterms and drive the dems approval rating further south.
The world wants increased supply...lower prices. Hmmm... does Granholm know about this?
Another Democratic success story in spite of Putin .. Bwhahahahaha
Yet biden is raising hell with the gas stations for selling diesel for $6.00 a gallon. Perhaps if he quit exporting, then it would be the same as it was two years ago.
We should never have let this happen. We should not be selling gas or oil to other countries. Oil companies have no country. pretty soon they will all be owned or controlled by the Chinese. And our own oil will not be ours. Shell is not an American company, Amaco is not an American company. BP is not an American company. We need to understand that selling these resources is not a good thing. We had a law against selling oil to other countries. We changed that law. It was a very bad thing.
This administration is literally bleeding us dry. Exporting diesel overseas, and draining SPR for export to China! The intent is clear: Destroy America.
Also, our federal taxes pay for fuel used by the federal agencies like the USPS. To keep up with higher prices, they will have to raise taxes on us to keep up with this.
