Tucker Carlson discussed the alarming possibility of diesel fuel shortages within 25 days due to Biden regime policies during Thursday night’s edition of his Fox News program.
“Thanks to the Biden administration’s religious war in Ukraine, this country is about to run out of diesel fuel. According to data from the Energy Information Administration by the Monday of Thanksgiving week, (that’s 25 days from now), there will be no more diesel,” Carlson said.
“What’s going to happen then? Well, everything will stop,” the Fox News host noted. “That means trucks and trains and barges all unable to move.”
“Farm equipment will shut down. There will be no deliveries because there’ll be no trucks,” Carlson said. “There’ll be no diesel generators and then inevitably, our economy will crash because everything runs on diesel fuel—not on solar panels, not on wind farms, on diesel fuel.”
“Diesel is not a negotiable commodity,” he noted. “You have to have diesel.”

Carlson continued, “Just pause and savor the irony here just for a moment because now everything is irony. They’ve been telling you for decades since Al Gore left the White House, that the single greatest threat to the world was warming and because of their efforts to fight warming, you are in danger of freezing and unlike warming, freezing actually kills people, a lot of people every year, and it will kill people in the West this year, thanks to their efforts to fight warming.”
“This shouldn’t be happening in this of all countries,” Carlson said. “The United States has some of the deepest – by some measures, the deepest – energy reserves on the planet. It’s our main strength. Cheap energy is the reason this is a rich country. That’s the reason. That’s why we’re exceptional, because we have cheap energy and this country was energy independent a few years ago.”
“Now, if you want to fix the economy, you would make this country energy independent once again,” Carlson added. “You would bring back cheap energy. That will fix the economy quicker than anything else. That’s the only thing that’ll fix the economy.”
He noted that instead, “the Biden administration, for whatever reason, has done the opposite — depleting our Strategic Petroleum Reserve, for example. They just released another 15 million barrels the other day.”
“Because they know that’s running out, the White House is also begging foreign governments for help in the most humiliating possible way,” Carlson said. “Biden just went and begged the Saudis in secret for more oil.”
“The problem is the people running the government are children,” Carlson concluded. “They not only can’t admit what they’ve done wrong, they don’t even understand it.”

DemonRats… Killing The Fossil Fuel Industry with Unrealistic Expectations
Leftists want to kill off the traditional sources of energy, but will there be anything IN PLACE to replace the energy of the oil, coal, natural gas, and gasoline and in SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES?
Leftists are willing to shut down entire segments of an industry, without having anything in place and established to replace them. They will create Government-mandated Regulations without a known ability for science and industry to be able to fulfill them, Those Government Regulators will not be demanding efficiency standards that are currently technologically feasible and are economically justified, they want MORE! “We POLITICIANS and REGULATORS will tell you exactly what you must do, and you must do it… after all, we’re Politicians and Regulators, while you are just Scientists and Engineers, now do it! — Our Wish is Your Command!”
“…80% of our energy today comes from fossil fuels, and well more than half of it comes from oil and natural gas. … Let’s have a grown-up discussion on energy policy. The U.S. is going to continue to use oil and gas for decades to come. Today, only a piddling 10.7% of our energy comes from wind and solar power. Approximately 2% of the cars on the road are electric vehicles. Even if that were to rise by tenfold over the next decade, we will still have 80% of cars using good old gasoline. If we don’t produce the oil and gas here, we are going to fill our tanks with oil and gas from the Middle East or Russia.” —Stephen Moore
Under Obama, coal mining and coal-powered plants were being forced to shut down without any replacement for all of that loss of power, with nothing readily available or as cheap, to keep people’s homes warm and lit. George Soros was reportedly buying up the closed-down coalmines for a song!
If you close all the coal mines, you also close down what is left of the Steel Industry; steel manufacturing needs coke, which is made from coal.
Natural gas and oil are also targeted.
You might think that: “Hundreds of thousands of lower-income people will freeze in the dark because they cannot afford heating fuel or electricity under this so-called agreement.” But that is not entirely true! There will not be sufficient amounts of fuel or electricity to go around, whether you can “Afford” it or not!
Sure, there are electric cars that can be powered by Solar Power from your own roof, but at this time, only the wealthy can afford both of them, and the Electric cars are not numerous enough so everyone can have one.
What do we do with all those gasoline and diesel engine cars and trucks that are now on the road? Turn them into stationary “Homes for the Homeless” ala the movie ‘Soylent Green’?

How does buying oil from Iran, Saudi Arabia and other countries that hate us serve to stem “climate change?”
we don’t produce our oil , foreign companies do and the impact on the environment is far worse if they produce oil than if we do because we have more regulations to prevent accidental spillage.
And to top it off, the shipment of fuel comes across the oceans polluting and destroying the environment even more than if it were produce here aat home.
All I can say is they’re nuts-all the Democrat politicians because climate control is a scam to redistribute wealth designed by none other than the Street Organizer.
