America Runs on Diesel!
Editors Note: When the President of the United States said he will shut down the fossil fuel industry, what do you think happens to capital flows for the industry? When the ESG movement said they will not fund the fossil fuel industry, what do you think happens to capital flows? Well, what happens is that capital for investment does not flow, as no one wants to invest in a 20 or 30-year investment in refineries, pipelines, and production, knowing they will be put out of business before they can make a return on investment. The result is no new production infrastructure to replace what is old and wearing out. This creates a shortfall in capacity, creating shortages, plain and simple. The Progressives get what they want, a forced conversion from one fuel choice to another. But Progressives have done this before they have developed viable, practical, and affordable alternatives. So when you can’t fill your tank, farmers can’t get fuel and cut production, and the food can’t be transported to the grocery store because of fuel shortages, know that it was all because of Democrat policies. Policies that are designed to cater to rich environmentalist contributors, and did not take into consideration the real needs of regular people. For them, the “environment” does not include people. Especially people like you.
Unfortunately for the Green politicians, most of the US economy moves on diesel fuel. I know, I know, it’s a fossil fuel and thus more odious than the fossils that inhabit our Capital building but let’s remember that almost everything we buy is delivered by a diesel-powered truck, train, plane or boat. It’s bad enough that the cost of filling a tank with diesel fuel has jumped by 228% over the past year but now the EIA is reporting that we are down to a paltry 25-day supply in the country.
There are some who will read this and try to guess what this will mean to them. In the simplest terms, it means that nothing in this country moves. Nothing! Why so alarmist? We are not running out of gasoline so how bad can it be? Look at the fuel delivery process to your local gas station, which will end shortly after we run out of diesel fuel, and there will be nationwide gas shortages. There will be no way for the grocery stores to re-supply and those shelves will empty. If the military has any MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) left, we will all be lining up for them but we’ve probably sent them all to Ukraine along with most of our ammunition. If this administration wants to see real unrest: try holding a professional or college football game without beer and hot dogs and watch the outcome! Literally, nothing in this country will get to its destination without diesel fuel.
It was only 20 months ago when this nation was completely energy-independent. No shortages and the prices at the pump were a mere fraction of what they are now. This is not a drill, this is a core component of our economy and it is about to stop, completely. Call or write your U.S. Senators and Representatives today: let them know that they need to fix this now! And, for the love of everything you hold dear, pull the Republican levers on November 8th! We must stop the idiots in this administration from doing any more harm to our nation.
The only way to do that is to vote RED and throw these ‘woke’ progressive and radical legislators out. YOU have that power. Your vote matters.
