Diesel shortage brought about biden demoncrat policies is going to become a MAJOR CRISIS within a month.

So this degradation coupled with lower exploration/production

There was no ban on exploration. Production was cut in 2020 due to the pandemic, not what Biden did in the future.

Traders make more money exporting gulf coast refined product over seas too.

Come on... why can't you admit these FACTS?
Think about! Over 24 billion barrels and Biden has cancelled!
Biden administration cancels 3 major offshore oil lease sales
Why it matters: The move that all but ends the likelihood of the U.S. government
selling new drilling leases in coastal waters in 2022 comes as gas prices hit all-time highs and after President Biden spoke of supplying European nations with fuel to ease dependence on Russian energy following the invasion of Ukraine, per the Washington Post.
FACT: You believe this? "Putin's invasion of Ukraine has driven up gas prices," Biden said.

Really? But Biden blocking exploration on land that produces 24% of our nation's oil and gas had NO affect?
Really? https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R42432
You believe Russia's 4.5% has a bigger impact on US gas pump prices than stopping exploration on land that provides 24% of the USA oil/gas?
Really?????
 
Again facts seem to get in the way of reality!
660,755 restaurants Number of restaurants in the U.S. | Statista
@ 35 lbs/resturant/day What’s the Average Amount of Grease Produced by Restaurants Yearly?
or 38,395,122 barrels per year at 55 gallons per barrel or 3.6% of diesel used per year in USA. So not a big contributor!
Total diesel fuel used per year...(1.06 billion barrels) Use of diesel - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

Reality is they should drive 1/26th as much and they will be fine.

So do you plan then to do this as I did when I was a kid 72 years ago? Gleaning...

I don't need to glean. I've been growing and processing food since I was a wee one and I have the land to do it on. Set out 72 cucumbers of 3 different varieties within the last few hours alone. Been planting regularly for weeks. Planted potatoes March 15 and the tops are already knee high. I have some odds and ends to get in the ground, but am on the home stretch.
 




The general population doesn’t know what is happening, and it doesn’t even know that it doesn’t know.


We can thank the oil companies for that. We need to nationalize the oil companies.

Because there was a lack of interest. Trump tried to do the same thing before he left office but had no takers. They have over 9,000 leases that they have not used.

You haven't seen anything yet, just hang on till fall when they have to make the switch to producing billions of barrels of home heating oil. :auiqs.jpg:

The only thing keeping us afloat now is the number of reduced flights by the major air carriers which has greatly driven down the demand for K-1 Kerosene.

World wide flights are still down by about half compared to pre covid numbers and the same holds true in the US where of course all international flights have to refuel before leaving again and our own domestic air service has seen a similar drop.

Even Psaki used that "9,000" number that Totally Incorrect!

Biden claimed 9,000 oil drilling permits are unused. That’s true, but all work can’t begin ‘right now’​

2,200 held up in court proceedings!
According to the IPAA, some of these leases are going through a “complex regulatory process or are held up in litigation.” Western Energy Alliance, which represents hundreds of companies involved in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas, says on its website that it is defending more than 2,200 leases in court, most of which cannot be developed while the cases are ongoing.

However, that doesn’t mean oil companies could just start drilling right now and produce oil and gas.

Yep....everything we touch was transported on a truck that runs on diesel...

Keep in mind.....how many kids get to their schools each day on diesel buses?
 
DEF shortage might happen first, which will shut down most every diesel truck and car. Urea is the primary ingredient and there is a worldwide shortage of it and a lot of it is being redirected to fertilizer mfg.
Had mine deleted and a chip put in. No more DEF, 85 more HP and 156 more ft pounds of torque.

Remember that the tar sands oil from Canada was to be shipped via the northern extension of Keystone XL to the Gulf of Mexico refineries to be refined into diesel fuel.

While that fuel was initially meant for South America and Europe it would have relieved pressure on the world diesel fuel market and could always have been diverted for domestic use.

But Biden killed that his first few days in office.

The US would have gotten a pretty nice share of that oil, but as we know, the morons think that if we don't affect the environment here, it's not being effected anywhere. They don't care about global environment, they only care that it's not going on in their backyard.
 
Why is that?

Diesel is the most important fuel in this country seeing any shortage would mean issues with shipping and high prices will cause higher prices at the market, so why is being ignorant is being bliss?
Because other than whining, there's not a damn thing you can do about it.
