Hello John and Doves,
"The US has just 25 days
of diesel supply, the lowest since 2008,
according to the Energy Information Administration....At
$5.324 a gallon, they're 50% higher than this time last
year, according to AAA data."
"In a rare reversal of normal
trade flows, New York is sending two diesel cargoes to
Europe, even as regional inventories are at multiyear lows
and prices hover close to record highs...This is a reversal
of recent trade flows, which say cold-gripped New York
Harbor import at least 4.5 million of barrels of diesel from
Europe and Russia since the start of the year for power
generation and home heating."
So while supplies have been
dwindling in the U.S. - not a surprise to anyone - diesel
exports have increased from 19,000 barrels a day to Europe
to 103,000 barrels a day to Europe. Who couldn't see
that "diesel crunch" coming to the U.S.?
"Mansfeld Energy (a major
fuel supply and logistics company) issued the alert Friday
stating there was a developing diesel fuel shortage in the
southeastern region of the United States. The company
speculated that the shortage could be generated from "poor
pipeline shipping economies" and a historically low supply
of diesel reserves....States that are expected to
experience serious effects of the shortage include
Maryland, Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North
Carolina and South Carolina..."Mansfield is also
moving the Southeast to Code Red, requesting 72-hour notice
for deliveries when possible to ensure fuel and freight can
be secured at economical levels."
And, on top of a diesel reserve
shortage - there is a heating oil shortage! This
will mainly effect the Northeast of the U.S. - the New
England States.
Oil executive Sam Livieri (Apple
Oil President) issued a stern warning to Americans on the
ability to heat their homes as winter draws closer.
Livieri said Tuesday that with a low supply of heating
oil, the country could see a "perfect storm", particularly
in New England." He said the "situation has
become an emergency". "States in the Northeast are
reportedly already rationing heating oil as prices
rise." "There's no heating oil", Livieri said
Tuesday. "Our supplies are low, and we have high
prices." "He called on federal and state leaders to
take action on ramping up supplies while the weather is
still mild. Livieri said prices are roughly 40% higher
than in 2021 and are expected to skyrocket when demand
reaches its peak in the winter months."

I did some research and found that
82% of households in the U.S. that use heating oil are in
the northeast. These customers used about 2.6 billion
gallons of heating oil (85% of the total residential heating
oil sales) Releasing some of that one million barrels
is a drop in the bucket!
I've never used heating oil, so
had to look up some information about it. "The United
States has two primary sources of heating oil - domestic oil
refineries and imports from other countries....Heating oil
imports generally supplement supplies during the winter
mostly to help meet consumer demand in the Northeast."
So how did the U.S. go from being
energy independent and a major exporter to begging from
Saudi Arabia and Venezuela?
"When President Biden took office
on January 20, 2021, the average cost for a gallon of
regular gas cost $2.38. By the time Putin invaded, it
cost $3.53." This is not "Putin's price hike."
When Biden tapped into our Strategic Reserve - which is
meant "to reduce the impact of severe energy supply
interruptions, "either by embargoes or natural
disasters"...Biden took ownership of the drop of price of
gas at the pump, but the real reasons were drop in consumer
purchases and drop in the price of the barrel of oil.
Biden's push for electric vehicles and green energy and
ending fossil fuels and companies pushing his green agenda -
like banks not giving loans for oil exploration, drilling,
etc has hurt the oil industry. No oil company is going
to build a new refinery now to get our distillates,
gasoline, etc. And they are at 90% total operable
capacity already. Biden and his failed energy policies
are crippling the country. Crippling our
economy.

Too bad the U.S.
isn't going to run out of diesel or heating fuel on
November 1 - a week before the mid term elections.
Maybe this would wake people up from their woke agenda and
"women's health" issue (their "right" to an abortion) as
their only concern for the mid-terms - to what is really
going to rock their world!! As of October 14 - the
U.S. has only 25 days of reserve diesel supply. And
according to this Bloomberg article on October 13, 2022
the U.S. has 26 days of heating oil left.

When these "perfect
storms" hit this winter, it will be too late to "vote" out
the Democrats. These are two good reasons to oust as
many as possible!
