Fuel company issues diesel shortage warning,
says conditions 'rapidly devolving'

Original Article

Posted By: NorthernDog, 10/29/2022 2:09:31 PM

A major fuel supply and logistics company is raising a red flag on upcoming diesel fuel shortages. Mansfield Energy issued the alert Friday stating there was a developing diesel fuel shortage in the southeastern region of the United States. The company speculated that the shortage could be generated from "poor pipeline shipping economies" and a historically low supply of diesel reserves. (Snip) States expected to experience serious affects of the shortage include Maryland, Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina. The Biden administration says it is keeping a close watch on diesel inventories and working to boost supplies

We're vulnerable to hanky-panky from foreigners - like when supplies were impacted in 2021 by hackers. Any new unexpected kink in the supply chain would spell disaster.

Don’t worry, the transportation secretary has it under control. He says, “just get an electric whatever-it-is-that-runs-on-diesel. I’m nursing. Diesel would be a cute name for one of our kids, wouldn’t it chastity? I’m exhausted. We need to find out what sex the kids think they wanna be.”

“The Biden administration says it is keeping a close watch on diesel inventories and working to boost supplies.” I humbly submit to you all that Biden and his communist cabal can’t do s__t to undo the historical damage they have done to this USA!! We’re screwed! Royally!

The oil companies can boost supplies. All that the Biden administration has to do is quit doing everything they have been doing.

It is worth noting that diesel fuel and heating oil are essentially the same thing...that is, while they are not quite the same thing, a furnace designed to run on heating oil and an engine designed to run on diesel fuel, can run on the other for extended periods of time, although not as efficiently as with the correct fuel, and in the case of a diesel engine (and perhaps an oil furnace as well) with greater wear and tear.

Don't school buses run on diesel at least the majority of them? Another way to keep kids from going to school, unless they walk or their parents take them.

Emptying the spr does not ”increase supplies”..it just takes existing stockers of mined. Oil out of an inventory that needs to be refilled. Keeping an “eye” on the supplies…does not require a DOT …just a computer…and only watches as the calamity unfolds. I expect most of us will not take kindly to living in stone age conditions, huddled hungry in the dark, trying to stay warm without adequate heat

Well if the wimpy Republicans take over the Congress after the midterm election, Biden can always fraudulently blame them for any shortages of diesel, heating, and industrial oil that pop up. No doubt there are a lot of low information to very stupid people out there who still believe any excuse that Biden spins to them for partisan political purposes. Beyond that, if there is no diesel oil to be had, the 18 wheelers can’t roll, and after that the entire US economy will come to a halt. When that is going on, Biden’s Transportation Secretary Peter Buttigieg (Mayor Pete) may well take parental leave again to help his husband take care of their kids.

I’ve been seeing stories on the coming diesel crisis for a few weeks now. My question - why isn’t diesel already $10 a gallon or more. The market response to shortages is higher prices, which both discourage consumption and encourage production, ultimately correcting the shortage. From Investopedia, “ There are three main causes of shortage—increase in demand, decrease in supply, and government intervention.” Higher prices would fix the first two, so what is the government doing that they aren’t telling us? Is this another intentional act to destroy our economy so the ruling class can swoop in and save us with the Great Reset? Bottom line, if the market is expecting a shortage prices should be rising.

Democrats in Pennsylvania are scrambling to flip the script on a less-than-stellar performance from Senate candidate John Fetterman during the state’s first and only televised debate and throwing the kitchen sink at pushing him over the finish line. With just over a week until Election Day, they are hoping Fetterman can hang on in a state that’s emerged as the center of Democrats’ hopes of retaining control of the Senate. The conversation immediately after last week’s debate largely surrounded Fetterman’s struggles on stage due to lingering symptoms from a stroke earlier this year and questions about whether he should have

The Biden administration is considering delaying promised military aid to Saudi Arabia in response to the Gulf country's decision to slash oil production, sources told NBC News. It could include shipments of Patriot MIM-104E guided ballistic missiles, which Saudi Arabia has a contract to purchase 300 of from the US. The Saudis have Patriot launch systems, but need the missiles to defend against attacks from Houthi rebels in Yemen, per the report. Sources told NBC that some military officials support the idea, while others argue that the military relationship between the two countries should be kept separate from the oil

Three days out from an attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband in their San Francisco home, we still know precious little about the attacker’s motivations—or, for that matter, about what precipitated the attack itself. That hasn’t stopped Democratic politicians and their allies in the mainstream media from fingering the culprits—their Republican adversaries—and concluding that, eight days out from an election in which they are bracing for a shellacking, the GOP should spend the final week of the campaign sitting on the bench, reflecting, atoning. How convenient. How cravenly and transparently political. Pelosi herself, meanwhile, is fundraising on the back of the attack.
