So! we went from Energy independence to 25 days of Diesel supply left before the pumps go dry in less then 2 years of this disasterous administration we have running this country now. If it gets as bad as they suspect, there are going to be people in the Northeast part of the country that are going to freeze to death, because of lack of home heating oil. Wonder how many NeverTrumpers who are going to be huddled up beneath layers of blankets are going to have buyers remorse by voting for that bumbling idiot Joe Biden.
Well! Freezing Americans, he told ya what he was going to do and you still voted for him, ya made your bed, you sleep in it.

 

We went from a great American President who worked hard for the American people to a basement dummy who lies and fondles children while enriching himself and his family selling his position in the WH to foreign governments.

It's sad how far down this country has been dragged because this idiot and his far left administration hate the country. IMO, this is treason. Impeach and indict.

 

It really is sickening, not sure if low information voters have been brainwashed by the lefts Go! Woke Go! Broke mentality and are just plain addicted to Government freebies and will vote for whomever gives them the most of hardworking tax payers dollars. Were heading down a dangerous path of socialism, populated by millions of lazy freeloading parasites in this country.

 

State Dept. official slammed for saying he prefers high gas prices.

Deliberate Attack By Biden Administration On The American Worker.

Success: Biden Gets the High Gas Prices He Promised.

 

I don't think the dems care one way or another. No matter how bad it gets, they'll just double down on Trump Trump Trump and excuse everything this administration is doing.

 

time to ban all oil exports

we have plenty of oil, why are we exporting oil?

 

Trump should have kept his grubby hand out of it

Trump wanted prices higher, now we got it, thanks Trump, he was right, this was GREAT for the oil and gas industry, course it SUCKS for consumers

Trump lowered supply during Covid, now that demand is picking up, supply is not there

 

should we ban oil exports?

 

Didn't take long for the TDS crowd to chime in. Trump hasn't been President for almost 2 years and Stupid Jo and the Ho and the Democratic controlled congress and their Green New Deal mania are responsible for this mess were currently in. Biden told us what he was going to do and destroy the fossil fuel industry and the Diesel shortages, out of control Inflation and high gas prices are ALL! on the DumboCrats. Don't try to blow smoke up our Ass's 9 Days before the Midterm elections and divert blame to the Trump and the Republicans. Nothing is going to prevent the massacre that is coming for Democrats on November 8th 2022

 

The best thing for America is to kick out these leftist leaders that have been destroying the country. They have no decent policiesand the amount of lies they tell are akin to treason, IMO. They are wrecking this country intentionally because they know that a solid, strong Middle Class will not support such madness.

 

They rely on an underclass of broke ass welfare slaves.

 

Most financially successful, intelligent, moral law abiding people in America vote Republican and most stupid welfare parasites and criminals vote Democratic, THAT! right there should tell you which side is the party of mostly good people and which party is mostly made up of lazy low lifes.

 

At the time of this quote what was the price of oil? This was shortly after oil hit a record bottom negative $35 a barrel. People were losing their jobs and that’s why Trump wanted oil to come up. Not because it was expensive but to save people from losing work. But I doubt you paid attention to hungry and jobless Americans

 

Another democrat failure. People aren’t falling for the deflections to Trump who actually did a great job anymore. Dems are genuinely destroying the culture. Democracy is in danger.

 

That is a generality with some exceptions but it is a generality that is true.

 

Careful, that's a nationalization position and very pro-American but it's not pro-global and it's not "who we are". It's who we should be though. We should be selective with our deals abroad to where they make sense, a win-win for both sides and to assure that our trade balances in all areas are positive.

 

It could be 20 years of democrat administrations from now with constant failures and you would still try to blame the bad orange man.

Do you ever expect Biden to actually become president and take responsibility for anything?

 

And there I thought supply and demand was a free market issue. Isn't the free market theory that if demand rises, companies will increase supply, to be able to make more profits? Why wouldn't they, or are companies now in the business of declining easy profits, because of Biden? Also, tell me, when was the government involved in producing and supplying diesel? Or, should government take control over diesel production, to avoid any potential supply issues? Just wondering, but my guess is that this is just another angry "f Joe Biden" thread.

 

what?

glad yousaid it

start the pipeline again maybe we won't freeze here in Maine the next 2 years

 

Seeing as you are not from the United States, we will give you a pass on NOT knowing how the strategic reserve works or even what it is and why it's important. Maybe do a little research for a change.

Here, this might help you out:

Except that low diesel supply has nothing to do with the strategic petroleum reserve:

"There's not much you can do to prepare for very tight supplies of diesel," Kloza said. "So this is going to be a serious issue. I think the White House is monitoring it, but I don't see many levers that they could pull that really might impact the prices because it's a global problem."

 

Good Lord..... Diesel fuel is refined from crude oil. So, yes, depleting the strategic reserve not oil affects gas and diesel prices, it affects the strategic petroleum reserve. Especially going into the winter months. The US was and can be energy independent so this is not a global issue, this is an issue with the people in charge ramming green energy down the throats of Americans. The US currently can drill for enough oil and gas to meet all of our on needs with plenty to spare. Enough to spare where we could supply the entire world with cheap gas and oil.

 

My brother and I have a small trucking company... we've sold off what we could, and for now at least we're just going to run 2 trucks.

We're going sign on as an independent contractor with a larger firm, but things are looking grim. The Dems-Feds are definitely trying to kill of the small businesses.

It takes over $1200 to fill my tanks.

 

We have a strategic diesel supply as well.

 

It'll sort itself out. Harvest season is all but over for awhile.
