Diesel demand in the US will NOT decrease, we're too big, too spread out & have moved too much farming to CA so goods MUST be shipped.
I drive a diesel truck & have not only a 31 gal tank in the truck but also a 96 gal tank in the bed. Every time I leave my mountain I not only make sure to plan my trip to maximize my fuel but I top off just before I get home.
I live in a remote area, have begun setting up my homestead but still require the big 1 ton truck to haul building materials, feed, etc up the mountain. I figure that is the truckers have to buy fuel at the same places I do & the same kind, it will be more available in the long run.
Diesel is cheaper & faster to produce than ethanol gas (its also been proven to be FAR better
for the environment but then
so is regular unleaded w/o ethanol!). My home has propane heat but also a wood burning stove big enough to heat the entire house & being on a mountain by our lonesome, we have an endless supply of downed trees at our disposal. Thinking outside the box will be your best move, now, before the boxes are gone & you're freezing or starving to
death. Now, ALL of this shortage crap is just that, crap. Biden could solve this issue with a stroke of a pen & re-release the U.S. energy sector that he shut down. Prices would fall & Americans would have better, higher paying jobs than working at Walmart. When America works, the world is better for it bc we buy so much crap from literally everywhere.
I get that our government knows that green energy is a long way off from being a viable alternative to fossil & nuclear power so they want to position us to be the last ones with it but c'mon man! We're starving out here, freezing, doing w/o all sorts of things while
we pay $6/gal for diesel despite the country sitting on the biggest reserves & having the best practices for
harvesting & refining the stuff.
This is totally of Biden's making from inflation across the board, fuel shortages, the war in Ukraine & mounting tensions with Russia, China & many more countries like Saudi Arabia, North Korea & even Brazil & India.
HE's weak & the entire world knows it.
Get ready America, we're going to have to save the world again but we can't do it with Biden at the helm...
