Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
Remember when America was energy independent? Gas was under $2 per gallon, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve was full, and our lawmakers did not have to grovel at the feet of our adversaries who are declining to help us anyway. The only reason America has an energy crisis is because Joe Biden eliminated domestic energy efforts on his first day of office. Now, he is assuring voters that the Biden Administration will keep energy prices inflated.
“No more drilling,” Biden said to a climate change protestor while campaigning for New York Governor Kathy Hochul. “There is no more drilling. I haven’t formed any new drilling,” Biden stated. When questioned about offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, Biden said he planned to eliminate that project as it began before he took office.
A few days earlier, Biden promised to destroy America’s coal sector. Biden touted that wind and solar technology is cheaper, as he clearly does not realize they cannot replace coal at this time. “So it’s going to become a wind generation. And all they’re doing is it’s going to save them a hell of a lot of money, and using the same transmission line that they transmitted the coal-fired electric on, we’re going to be shutting these plants down all across America,” the president stated.
Biden is suggesting that coal miners simply become computer programmers. “Anybody who can go down 300-3,000 feet in a mine sure as hell can learn how to program as well,” Biden said at a campaign event. “But we don’t think of it that way. Anybody who can throw coal into furnace can learn how to program, for God’s sake.” The war on fossil fuels will continue under the Democrats.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

Why, so the Dems can lose harder?
No. So he can say he kept a promise. Never mind that there’s not a damned thing he can do about it. That’s what they DON’T want to talk about.
Fossil fuel generator plants should shut down for 30 days (no early starts or change of plans) so that these Green Nazis can see how the country does on wind and solar. 30 days.
This will and is happening right now. The problem is we don’t have the refining capacity to come back fast enough to ward off the mass starvation that will occur. All the crude in the world won’t help if you can’t refine it. The other thing lost in the haze is Cement, Steel and many other mining operation will grind to a stop without coal to heat the kilns and the smelters. LPG just won’t cut it, they will shut down
Hey there, Boog… you don’t mind if I call you Boog?
I grew up in the Southeast Missouri Bootheel and people down there just don’t realize what’s about to happen.
Got fertilizer? No diesel? No coal?

Am now in the Ozarks and we are hooked up to Black River Electric, which has it’s intermittent issues, but at least the rivers eventually start running again, right?

Unless the government decides to build dams.
Dammit all.
Hi Ghost, Call me what you like, my real name is Allen. I think there are to many of us that have no idea the peril that we have been put in on so many fronts. I don’t worry as much about electricity as I do diesel fuel. The delivery on electricity is fast and efficient. The delivery on diesel is mired with lack of refineries, inefficiencies, process and delivery. Without diesel the whole nation grinds to a stand still. There truly is no alternative for diesel fuel. Our very lives depend on this energy source. Our Government is playing games with our lives and most of us don’t realize the ramifications of this game and just how fast we can all be laid bare. When trains, trucks, ships and mobile equipment can’t run with supply and demand, we are most assuredly doomed.
I’m seeing spotty reports on twitter of truck stops being out of diesel. Here the price of diesel is $4.99 while regular gas is $3.39. That’s getting close to a $2 difference. Like this trucker, I was thinking it was a bunch of hooey. I guess we will see in the next few weeks.
Diesel Shortage Will Hit These Seven States the Hardest

Commentary from GasBuddy analyst is included in this article.
“Unless the government decides to build dams.”
The government usually damns builds.
Where the fuck are the Powerball Numbers?
Results pending. Dems looking for more numbers
That’s funny!
FJB is figuring out his 10% cut
The scarcity America is experiencing is absolutely ARTIFICIAL!
The US CORPORATION has ordered this to all it’s subsidiaries in order to artificially collapse the US Economy and they’ve been threatening this for a long time with their mantra of “Build Back Better” BS as they MUST destroy America before they can rebuild it into their Fascist, Communist, Oligarchic dictatorship ran by China at the helm indicated by all the politicians & Corporations who sold out to the Chinese.
No more Biden. No more globalist Luciferian communists. Time to start the engine and pump some oil.
Everyone can learn to program…well, except for the president, he’s already been programmed.
Yeah, it was all loaded on TTL and that old power supply is having a difficult time keeping +5V. Besides, you have to run the punched tape every dang day. see: (DeRamp.com).
