If things are already getting somewhat tight here, it’s going to be even worse for all the poor bastards in Europe this winter. Good luck!

IF it is a rout, he will soon announce he is not running for re-election. He can retire on $400K /yr with FULL benefits, plus his $150K+/yr retirement for a lifetime as senator.

Do not forget the MILLIONS Hunter, the leader of the family crime syndicate got from his adventures with the Chinese and the Ukrainians.
Daddy Joe is ON CAMERA telling the Ukrainians that if they do not fire the prosecutor investigating the criminal activities of Hunter he will not send them the NEXT BILLION dollars. Naturally, they did and he did. The commission back to the family crime syndicate Led by Hunter with the well-known 10% for the “Big Guy” would be 10 – 20%, of the BILLION, I am guessing.

Correct. Allentown plaza frequently has no diesel because the pumps don’t work, thanks to the Pennsylvania standard of lack of maintenance. This is on the PA Turnpike, a road notorious among truck drivers for being 100% substandard. The entire state is full of examples of how to not build and maintain infrastructure. What would be news is if the pumps were working. Or better yet, if the parking lots were actually large enough to park 53 foot trailers. These places were built back when 30 foot trailers were standard and they have not upgraded the parking lots since. Pennsylvania infrastructure is as if it is still 1940.

By the way, big truck drivers get fuel at truck stops, not rest areas on the toll roads. Why? They get a better deal on fleet sales and the truck stop includes a shower when pumping 50 gallons.

Pennsylvania really is a socialist disaster state. Bulldoze the entire state and start over. Then repeat for every state east of Ohio. And do it with contractors from the Midwest so it actually gets done. And don’t forget to shoot in the head any politician who attempts to turn it into a make-work program for diversity hires and affirmative inaction deadbeats.

Well, it’s just jumped to $4.99 here while regular gas is $3.39. Maybe it will be available, it just won’t be affordable.

Is it propaganda? I guess we will find out soon enough

I’m not an expert in such things and someone correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t there numerous power plants that are fueled by diesel? How long before there’s blackouts in certain parts of the country?

Diesel is a small fraction of the mix, used primarily for emergency backup generators in critical areas like hospitals.

Explain how it is possible to freeze out someone with a wood-burning furnace.

Explain how it is possible to freeze out someone with a natural gas furnace with natural gas delivered by pipeline from the source.

If I were you, I would be more concerned about plenty of empty shelves in the stores, because odds are excellent that you can’t name a single store that gets its items for sale delivered by horse and wagon or wood burning steam locomotive.

They said 2 or 3 months ago there would be diesel shortages in Europe, especially Austria.
Still hasn’t happened even a little bit.
Same for AdBlue.

Probably just more fear-porn.

The shortage isn’t of diesel fuel itself, but the additives that make it smoke less.

Good luck with that. Since 2011, every diesel engine built is equipped with electronic fuel injection and will not run if the diesel exhaust fluid tank is empty. A complete redesign of the engine would be required to get it to run with old-school mechanical fuel injection.

Good luck trying to find enough Series 60 engines in junk yards and then finding enough of the parts to rebuild them.

As for the zero IQ mental defects with the dirty pickup trucks blowing smoke, all they are accomplishing by modifying the computer software is sending their diesel engines to an early grave and proving that it is possible to cut their fuel economy in half. Never mind the negative public relations they create for diesel engines and pickup trucks.

LOL, I learned from a ‘Combustion Engines’ professor lecture that a Diesel has the highest effectiveness (fuel and power-wise) when it’s slightly smoking. Obviously, for emission reasons diesel engines are not run that way today.
But that potentially doing so reduces the longevity [of the engine] must be complete bullschiff.

Today, the injectors cannot handle the dirty fuel and it would wreak havoc on the after treatment devices

It’s the same fuel, when you run a diesel in a slightly smoking manner.

It’s just running a richer AFR (air-fuel-ratio), which in a diesel engine leads to not all carbon being burned to carbon dioxide, and so some soot coming out of your tail pipe. Nothing of that can damage the engine, with the exception of EGR-equipped ones where the soot may build up in the intake channels, clogging the air intake.

The ONLY reason there’s a diesel “shortage” is because NO BALLS POLITICIANS refuse to rescind the emissions standards for diesel engines…for fear someone might see a black exhaust cloud. I guess they’d rather starve to death in the dark and cold.

They’ll “fix it”…once they decide YOU have suffered enough to comply with their demands.

Some States have already done the right thing. So…if you’re getting the short end of this stick, you now know exactly who to blame. Your State legislators!

Now go fucking vote harder!

Yeah no, ‘cuz ROI has nuttin’ tado widit.

Highways were practically empty of (diesel) passenger vehicles during the first year of CoVid lockdowns and some major diesel refineries were shuttered on the eastern seaboard. They haven’t been brought back online and they never will be if our uppity donkey government continues its suicidal war on hydrocarbons.

I always feel better pumping bicycle pedals (7 year-old grin on a 70 year-old man) until I have to suck black diesel smoke, so I’m grateful for stricter diesel emissions. Stricter emission controls don’t affect refinery production, just the sticker price of a new diesel-powered vehicle (priced palladium lately?) Exhaust from new diesels (2020+) don’t make me feel instantly sick and they burn the same diesel as old engines. That’s a win-win.

Here in Enumclaw, we geld stupid politicians so they can’t breed idiots and stump-break our uppity donkeys.comment image

Emission controls on modern diesel doom it to an early death, cupcake. They use an EGR that recycles the used gasses back through the engine before it is filtered. This scores the cylinder walls and gums up the entire upper part of the engine.

Evil VW made a diesel that put out .140 grams of NOx per mile. Less than 1/10 the weight of a paperclip. It got 45-50mpg with less CO2 and than a gasser . Their crime was Uncle Fed only allows .132grams.

If you can smell that difference you should sniff baggage at the airport.

There is only 15 days of diesel in reserve. Republican’s can’t stop the train wreck that’s about to happen, it’s too late in the game. We don’t have the refinery capacity to offset the shortages in a timely manner. It will be bitter sweet to watch the big city dwellers starve to death. No more MacDonald’s for you Jethro or Latte Mochas for you my purple haired friend, keep that EV nice and charged you lefty asshole, your all about to get what you’ve been asking for. Oh and how the cities will burn, it will take a miracle to stop this coming storm. This is a controlled demolition and we are being demolished. It’s going to happen fast, faster than most will be able to believe. Your grocery store has three days worth of stock on average, probably less than that in the big cities.

I think Biden was a bit premature last year when he claimed before winter hit that there was going to be a “Dark Winter”. It’s actually going to be THIS WINTER.
Watch and prepare for massive power outages, fuel shortages with extreme cold weather compliments of the Geoengineers who control the weather.
