That’s what happens when no oil countries want to do business with the United States.
Democrats have stood in the way of building new refineries since the 1990’s. Always the excuse has been it takes years to bring a new refinery online, well we could have had several built by now.
Instead...we sow the wind and sun. SMH
Shortages will get worse,many things will get more expensive and I might be forced to do less driving (I drive a diesel).
USA TODAY asks,How and Why in several hundred words when the answer can be summed up in four or five.
BIDEN and other Washington Politicians
Let’s go Brandon.
Our suffering is well worth it as long as it hurts Putin.
Supply dries up and price rockets, right after the election.
It was a pretty silly article.
The word “Russian” appears within the first paragraph or two. And they mention diesel from soybeans.
And turning your thermostat down.
Good God.
I can think of a way to boost it.
Export ban.
We filled all our diesel and gasoline storage at our ranch last week. $3.02 unleaded and $4.77 diesel. Did not like the diesel price… but…. Probably would prefer I bought it wrong, for the good of the country.
Just add it to the growing Biden List of f* k ups.
It’s not hard to figure out what the problem is: There is only a LIMITED AMOUNT of diesel available in the US under any conditions, and then when you divert a good portion of that to Europe to make up for their Suicide Sanctions against Russia (no longer buying Russian diesel), you get shortages back home. If we could do the same with natural gas, we would, except that the infrastructure for exporting natural gas is (thankfully) limited.
I have been working in the oil and gas industry for 45 years, all over the world.
USA Today has not one single oil and gas expert on staff.
This is Brandon Marxist Junta propaganda. Brandon manufactured the diesel shortage. The result pushes up more inflation for food costs and everything else.
The nations trains and truck transportation run on this fuel, as well as much of the shipping. And military vehicles.
How is this not a national emergency?
What are these morons doing?
At $9+/gal, the truckers will park their rigs, because they are losing money to run. The stores will empty. Be prepared for it.
Stock up people!!!!
