Reports are starting to come out that various regions in the Southeastern U.S. are running out of diesel fuel [North Carolina Example] – [Midway Kentucky Example].
The empty service station tanks in North Carolina today come after Mansfield Energy warned of a critical “diesel fuel shortage in the Southeastern United States, including North and South Carolina” [link]
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — A diesel fuel alert issued a week ago by a key fuel logistics company hasn’t changed — despite a small increase in inventories of diesel over the last week. The alert from Mansfield Energy a week ago was for the Southeastern United States, including North and South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Maryland.
The low supply left the Southeastern United States with just 25 days worth of diesel fuel, the company said. U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported Friday those numbers were actually down a bit from last week along the East Coast.
Low supplies make it difficult to find the fuel quickly, which means trucks have to visit several terminals and “strains local trucking capacity,” the company said. The low supplies also mean an increase in prices for diesel. On Friday, diesel prices opened up 10 cents for the week, Mansfield said. (read more)

This diesel shortage is threatening to crush America’s truckers and farmers—the backbone of our economy. The entire supply chain will feel the impact.
RT if you agree: Biden needs to wake up to this crisis and unleash American energy production NOW.

If one looks at the direction of virtually every shortage plaguing the U.S., one will discern that practically EVERY SHORTAGE will show up in the southeast first. What is the reasoning for this? The recent shortage of heating oil highlighted as beginning in the northeast showed up in my area three weeks before being documented. I was told maybe in two or three weeks for delivery, a discrepancy that caused my supplier of over thirty years to go out of business before the shortage being reported as happening in the northeast. We are being swamped by people from these other states swooping in and buying everything under the sun, since most of them lived in states with huge industries to build nest eggs from while most natives are treated to ridicule for being southern, and losing our homes to carpetbagging politics.
Fabricated crisis
I hope your comment is tongue in cheek, because it is cruel if not.
It is neither “tongue in cheek” nor is it “cruel.” It is simply the truth. This administration has fabricated this crisis, as Biden proclaimed he was going to do on day one, to destroy the fossil fuel industry in America. Were you not listening? Of course, when you destroy the fossil fuel industry you destroy everything else. If Biden and his administration did not understand that then they are absolutely insane. If they did understand then they are wicked and treasonous and unworthy of even hell.
Exactly 💯 true !
Well said!
“unworthy of even hell” …. I like that and it fits many these days.
You got that exactly right
they understood it perfectly and yes they are extremely wicked and treasonous. but they will get a full and eternal dose of hell. and that means all of them unless they repent, which they will not do because they are their own gods.
Fabricated also means “made up” or “fake.” I believe that is what Joseph O’Donnell perceived your meaning to be, as did I.
I vote for “wicked and treasonous and unworthy of even hell.”
He could have a point. Our fuel problems are fabricated by our betters in government. That’s worth keeping in mind this coming Tuesday.
What the heck is cruel about it? The Dems are pursuing an anti-fossil fuels policy that is deliberately causing scarcities all over the world. Europeans fear freezing this winter for lack of heating fuel.
So very true. Under a normal government, months ago when they first warned diesel was in short supply. A normal government would have halted all the BS regs, had refining capacity ramped up and gotten supplies topped off.
Our current train wreck of a government sits back eating pudding watching supplies dwindle, stack more rules and regs on drillers and refiners and warn that trouble is coming. So instead of doing something about it, they warn weekly that supplies are dwindling and faking wringing their hands in concern.
Never has this country (even under Carter) been run by a more inept, blazingly ignorant bunch of morons that cheated their way into government employment. Boggles the mind.
Yes, they would have. But restarting an energy supply chain such as oil refining can take months to get going. Sort of like trying to turn an aircraft carrier around in a man made turning basin. You can do it, but the carrier will be very late to the war zone.
It ain’t ignorance.
It’s intentional.
We are staring real evil in the face.
They are not an ignorant bunch. They are America hating globalists who know exactly what they are doing and the plan is working.
Exactly.
If by fabricated you mean ‘man made’, then I’m in agreement with you. The Crime Syndicate in charge has certainly built a doozy.
Punishing the smaller Red States first
I topped off the F350 with Diesel and DEF on Friday. Then I hooked up a battery tender where it is going to sit for a while.
When you need a demand side shortage and don’t have one…
Otherwise… This isn’t worth even mentioning.
Mitch McConnell directly responsible for causing the fuel shortage – main enabler of Biden.
mc connell is an enabler of mc connell.
JUDASpence knowingly certified a stolen election.
Time to see where Kentucky voters stand. Make us proud Kentucky.
When a man/woman has nothing, they have nothing to lose. Truckers, railway, barges, airlines deliver what society needs to operate. Chaos will soon develop if this fuel shortage worsens. God help us.
It is amazing how so many people cannot see that basic truth.
There is no animal on earth more dangerous than a man with nothing to lose but his pride.
Or freedom….
I guess the Sun isn’t all that, huh?
Diesel trucks deliver gas……
I submit that there is another food shortage coming soon to a Walmart near you. My wife and I did most of our weekly grocery shopping at our local Walmart yesterday, and we found several empty shelves and out of date food products stacked on other shelves. I don’t know what was going on, but we couldn’t finish half of our list and had to go to two other stores to finish our shopping. Since we live in a semi rural area. The other stores meant 25 more miles of driving for us. Nobody better tell me things are turning around in our economy. The crap is just beginning to hit the big fan.
My favorite tomato juice..
Grandson’s favorite sausage links..
My old Tom cat’s favorite dry food…
My favorite dry rub for smoking..
Only a few of the things that have vanished from the store shelves this year.
Cat food is not easybbto find these days. Cats got their favorites and usually don’t hear anything else. We are finding ourselves going to 3 or 4 stores before we find what we want and then the supply is limited.
When I was a kid, cats got milk and lefover food. One of the reason I dont have a cat is to not buy this awfull pet food.
And not just shortages but prices are unbelievable.
Think that’s bad, wait for the hyper inflation as all the federal reserve tricks and covers are removed from the illusionary economy.
We get cat food and litter at Tractor Supply. A real blessing.
Biden is an ideologue and an idiot incapable of righting a wrong decision. In his insane world there cannot be any fossil fuels and he intends to make this a reality or die trying. He does not care whom he harms even if he destroys the entire nation because he, of course, believes he is god’s special little creature and will always be provided for as he has been in the past. He can see no end to his personal existence and comfort. You must remember that it is being proven that he does not represent Americans but has a loyalty to other nations and organizations who have purchased his loyalty. Some would call that treason and in a sane American he would not be in the WH, but a prison. Do not rely on him to do the right thing. His idea of rightness is doing only what is good for himself. He cares nothing for American people who to him are merely his subjects who should obey his commands.
You are wrong-Joe Biden is nothing but a puppet,he is TOTALLY controled
Interesting that so many do not get it about this puppet…. FJB and his evil crew!!
Biden may not be the real Captain. But, he’s the one at the helm!
Since who or what he appears to be has always been up for sale.. I argue his own will is no longer relevant. He has become Satan’s favorite tool.
synonym for Satan,I have to guess OBAMA & Co.
Joe Biden could not care less about climate change,gender issues,nor anything else on the left’s agenda,the ONLY things that matter to him,are power,money,and what’s up little girls skirts
He won’t get it until the presidential limo and Air Force One don’t move. By then the US military won’t be able to move either. Those Humvees run on diesel!
It’s clearly not a matter of the federal government waking up to anything. They know exactly what they’re doing and how it will cause American citizens to suffer. That’s their goal.
Too bad we emptied the SPR to manipulate gasoline prices before the midterms. We could probably use that oil now for diesel.
music to brandon’s and his merry band of radical’s ears.
…And I just bought a diesel farm tractor….Close to $6.00 a gallon in northern Vermont…it’s laugh or cry…Plus my winter wood, which I get in logs to cut and split, went up $25 dollars a cord due to the price of diesel.
The names of all responsible need to be shown and their degree of responsibility! So if this snowballs and people starve for lack diesel to deliver food We The People will hold them to account!!!

Tucker has been warning on this for some time now. He’s even got a countdown. When he started his countdown, I told my family quit laughing at me and start getting your stuff in line. Basically everything we. use daily should be stockpiled. Don’t forget antibiotics, bleach, prescription drugs, etc. When people’s kids are hungry, chaos will ensue. God keep his hand on this election and protect us from our enemies.
consider that perhaps an extreme reaction as yours in stockpiling can exacerbate the shortages…(?) I mean there is only so much to go around in the nation.
It almost seems like they don’t want truckers home to vote.

With election day just the day after tomorrow, the end is fast approaching. Starting Wednesday, they will no longer need to keep things going in order to keep up appearances. Diesel shortages will cascade into everything shortages and if you are competing with trucking for heating your house with oil, well, expect to be cold. Sadly, time has run out to come up with alternative strategies to these problems and implement them. Best of luck to everyone, I think we’re going to need it.
No manufacturing, no food, no need for more fuel. Should Washington, D.C. lead the way?
Stabilizing then rebuilding inventories to more comfortable levels will require a significant slowdown in freight movements and manufacturing activity.
Rebalancing diesel supply will likely require a further rise in interest rates and tighter financial conditions in the United States and other major economies to reduce fuel consumption to more sustainable levels.

My daughter is a millwright. Lately she has been specializing and traveling around the country doing routine maintenance and repairs of turbines for electrical generation, most commonly coal plants. She has said that the federal government has actually been paying the companies NOT to do the repairs that keep them operating. Many of the plants she has been at are only operating at 1/2 or less capacity, and there are no plans to bring their capacity back online for power generation. She suggested making sure you have a good generator and fuel supply for it. Several years back l got myself a 45KW three phase diesel generator, and have 1000 gallons worth of diesel on standby. I rotate the diesel by using it for the tractors, etc… on the farm.
Before diesel used to cost 15% more than regular unleaded gas.
Now diesel is easily doubled that of regular gas.
The fuel released from the strategic reserves are going to gasoline to try to quell the public anger. But diesel is what the economy & commerce is built on. Diesel is the key to inflation.
Southern ohio, diesel is a $2.40 premium to gas.
This is being spun by all rather than being reported accurately. It is related to a shortage of refineries rather than a shortage of crude oil. Please see attached video interview with a high level person from within Mansfield:
No Diesel! No goodies on the shelves! Everything in this country gets from here to there by using Diesel!
This is being played up for political purposes. Please see this interview with Mansfield Energy:

There is no excuse for this but TREASON.
Don’t be shortsighted; No diesel = No gasoline too.
Wow! Thanks to Uncle Joe’s energy policies I was able to travel from the railroad trestle on I 24 east into and through Chattanooga, Tn. to where I 75 splits off in less than an hour this afternoon. Go figure, 70% less truck traffic.
I venture to say, if you are not awake by now, you may very well not wake up until it’s too late! So sad to watch what the Liberal Left and their propaganda has accomplished. When a movement promotes castrating children in addition to killing the unborn and sometimes those after birth, that movement is in downward spiral that can’t be corrected! Bail out while you still have a chance to survive, hopefully you have a parachute and His name is Jesus Christ!
Is there any accountability for TREASON anymore? The worst crime ever, is there any accountability?
Theses democrats must pay for treason!
Li ne them all up together with a firing squad, for the love of God already!!
