Diesel Shortage Leaves US With Just 25-Day Supply as Demand Surges: Report
https://www.thedrive.com ^ | 10/24/2022 | NICO DEMATTIA

iesel stockpiles in the U.S. are reportedly at their lowest point since 2008, with only enough fuel for a 25-day supply, according to a recent report from Bloomberg. Demand is also said to be at its highest point since 2007, creating a dangerous supply/demand combination that's causing spikes in pricing. The Biden administration called the nationwide diesel supply "unacceptably low" and is looking at all options to build up the national supply to help reduce prices.

According to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the average price of diesel is at $5.34 per gallon. That's an increase of $1.67 per gallon, compared to this time last year. The area getting hit the hardest is New England, where people burn diesel fuel for heat more than anywhere else in the country. There, stockpiles of diesel fuel are a third of what they normally are at this time of the year. However, the highest cost of diesel fuel is in California, where the average cost is almost $6.50 per gallon, an increase of almost $2.00 per gallon over this time last year.

Europe has stopped buying Russian Diesel...and now, out of nowhere, first time ever, the UNITED STATES is running out of Diesel. Hmmmm...not too hard to figure this one out.

Note also that our 25 day supply of Diesel will last just long enough to get through Mid-Terms, before our economy crashes to a halt. Hmmmm...not too hard to figure this one out either.

Still worth WW3 over Ukraine?

Joe is playing with fire, but he's too stupid to realize it.

When Obama said "never underestimate Joe's ability to eff things up," I don't think he realized that Joe operates according to a different kind of playbook.

Joe's prime mover is money for his family, not any kind of political ideology. Rest assured that whatever bone he tossed to the Climate Change crowd by trying to kill oil and gas in the U.S., he has a behind-the-scenes hedge to make sure the Big Guy still gets 10%.

Unfortunately for the country, Joe, like Democrats in general, has zero experience with the practical side of life. He doesn't understand how energy is the backbone of our economy. He probably thinks diesel suppliers can just open up the spigot if they want to.

"Greedy bastards, those diesel suppliers."

They are going for it, no matter what.
I’ve heard that the war was planned for 2016, but Trump ruined that for them.
Hillary was also supposed to sign the Trade Pacific Pact, which would have allowed humans to become commodities.

Globalists need a distraction from the crashing economies and food shortages.

All for their Great Reset.

“I’ve heard that the war was planned for 2016, but Trump ruined that for them.”

Yep, heard the same as it was perfectly clear during the campaign that she was DEMANDING a war with Russia. Well, she’s now getting her war and it’s amazing how many FReepers are totally with her on it.

“Hillary was also supposed to sign the Trade Pacific Pact, which would have allowed humans to become commodities.”

Not heard of that, but the Digital Currency will effectively do the same...unless the Neocons negate their own plans by starting a nuclear war, which would be filled with EMPs.

This is all market manipulation, as so many in the “green” Obama-Biden-Harris regime have repeatedly stated that consumers need the “pain at the pump” to motivate them to buy electric vehicles — which are polluting and so often ultimately fueled by coal and gas burning electrical generation plants. An enormous con, being run alongside other enormous cons.

Government is the problem -- worldwide.

How many days of supply do we have normally? How can one assess the risk?

Drill, Baby, Drill. Refine, Baby, Refine.

Joe’s carcass is a marionette.

He’s got his strings being pulled from the globalists, CCP and their operatives in and out of his administration.

It’s definitely going to come. In many ways, we’re already there.

The Ukraine War will be just like Vietnam - those who pushed it turned against it after their crazy policies screwed it up once the opposite party (Nixon) got into power. So you had the architect of the crazy policy, Robert McNamara, writing a book years later praising the peaceniks and saying he opposed a war he started! The baldfaced liars are at it again and they don’t give a damn that its the sons of middle America that will fight and die for their loony policies.

TURN HE VALVES BACK ON, JOE.

(Unless global war is what you want — because it’s what you’re stumbling into.)

Can ANYBODY be so evil that they’d start a major war JUST to consolidate their power?

(Very hard to accept anybody is that evil.)
