The impact from such a release would be limited by the relatively small size of the reserve, which only contains 1 million barrels of diesel. Hrmm. Quote In 2020, distillate fuel consumption by the U.S. transportation sector, which is essentially diesel fuel, ... an average of about 122 million gallons per day Yeah, that extra 1 million gallons will have a HAY-UGE impact...

brucin 918 Posted May 24, 2022 So they are going to use a reserve designed to help people heat their homes in the northeast in the winter in case there is a heating oil shortage. 82% of the homes in the northeast are heated with oil. What could possibly go wrong? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about this for an unintended consequence. Home heating oil will get caught up in diesel pricing and suffer the same shortages. If there is no heating oil, people will turn to wood burning stoves. Thousands of acres will be cut down to heat homes. So, the lefty idiots get their win by fucking up oil, but caused deforestation. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are exactly correct! Home heating oil shortages is what I've been worried about for a few weeks now. As a result, I'm checking out firewood prices currently & will be ordering some in the early part of the summer. I have a woodburning stove that I don't use all that often, but I have a bad feeling that I might need to run it with some regularity this coming winter & I would prefer to buy the wood NOW rather than waiting until fall/early winter (when it will in all likelihood be even more scarce/costly). I imagine anyone with a woodburning stove or fireplace will also be buying more firewood this year. I agree, it's not at all "green" to burn wood... but hey, who can blame a homeowner for keeping that option on the table under the circumstances? The current "energy policy" (or lack thereof) is so ill-planned, it's mind-boggling. So, people really need to be ready for the worst. Shortages certainly, but possibly even more hacking attacks on utility companies. At this point, when it comes to the basics (like having heat in winter), I want back-ups to my back-ups... and after that... even more back-ups. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Refinery capacity is way down since covid. There are three or four refineries on the east coast compared to seven ten years ago. Thats a big part of the reason gas and distillates are at record prices while crude oil is not Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure this whole gas thing was planned, but not for the green new deal bs. America's economy is being slowed down intentionally. America has the capacity to produce everything we need.

When I pulled in I asked the (black) attendant if I needed to take out a bank loan. He had a good laugh and said no, I'd just have to stop thinking about all those gifts for the grand kids. I shot back that I don't have grandkids but I did consider quitting drinking. He almost doubled over laughing and said something to the effect 'No, don't do that! That's going too far!" When the pump clicked off he asked me if I wanted a receipt and I said "God no, I don't want to get any more pissed off." Whereupon we traded 'have a good day' with 'stay cool out here' and I drove out. I only mention the fact that he was black so you'd know he didn't think I was a white supremacist, no matter what Brandon said. Perhaps he didn't vote for Brandon, so he couldn't identify as black in spite of his skin color. Just two strangers trading laughs on a hot day. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t remember them all but at least two were hit with planes and seen another added today I assume one of the plane crashes was in Burley, Idaho. I'm quite familiar with that one. A commercial pilot making an instrument approach into the airport in a light plane clipped a chimney on the Gem State (potato) Processing Plant. She was very likely too low on her approach (she had gone missed on the first attempt), and didn't break it off in time. The chimney may have been unlit, and may have been taller than the plant told the FAA it was when the instrument approach was being mapped. Those are questions for the NTSB to answer. But a lovely young woman, Brittney Infanger, died in the crash. It didn't affect the plant's operation at all. The only other one I found in a brief web search was in Covington, Georgia, where a plane crash killed the flight instructor and student in a light twin practicing touch-and-go landings. A lot of pilots refuse to do those in a twin--there is a lot that can go wrong. This one missed the General Mills food processing plant by 300 yards, and also didn't affect the plant's operation at all. If Tucker was trying to weave those into some kind of conspiracy, I'm disappointed in him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
