All our Navy support ships burning diesel to protect the strait has caused the shortage...

While speaking out now that they realize the Strait of Trump just did not have a whole lot to do with diesel prices, you know they are brainstorming to create another way to place blame.
Some are just simply incorrigible.

So in your context... it still ends with exponentially higher fuel costs... but the reason is just that government wanted to punish the people who wanted to stay with gasoline powered vehicles. And the remaining vehicles are far less reliable and harder to repair. Thus the government heavily interfering in the free market and forcing people to buy what they don't want. Which they later got their wish with health insurance.
AND to also be forced to move where they many not want to and never intended to.
And it appears that today's prices are also on the timeline of that. So again, leftists SHOULD actually be happy.
Yea... that's MUCH better. Thanks.

The war with Iran is definitely having an effect on diesel prices though.

So where is there a shortage? Please sgiw me wgere duesel isnt available in the US
Baw got them big fingers on the phone. I feel your pain. I always hit the wrong letter and have to edit.

Let me guess, higher prices makes more diesel available? Or it makes refineries able to produce more?
Diesel is sold on the world market and is dictated by world prices. We do have a bottleneck at the refineries, as well as 2 wars that have hampered available feedstock.
My response however, was more smartass and was directed at his SOH comment.

Frick him for having that mindset. That’s truly a communist POS, wanting to force people to live in a certain area.

Ukraine war has been going on forever. We should never depend on China for diesel. If you are going to start a war, you have an exit plan and contingencies for the effects of said war, i.e., DIESEL!

Hmm, diesel is but a product in cracking oil down. 200 less plants doing this from 50 years ago while need has increased through the roof and still going. Not sure what the supply / demand theory starts at but I know what the storyline is

One of these two would not matter if there were no blue backing democrats

If the Strait is Open, Why is Diesel at Record Highs?
I find it hard to believe that you don't already know this answer.
You're just trolling on Trump.
Try harder.

I gave the context because I couldn't decide which was worse, raising prices all at once, or fricking people for 15 years and wanting them to live closer to work.

Take from that what you will.
I take that democrats want to dictate our lives and will make things unaffordable to control our behavior. It's authoritarianism disguised as climate policy.

What should we take from that?

We get what they wanted to do and what their goal was. And the stance since then and forward through state leadership has multiplied the issue and working toward that goal.
The actual conundrum is.... if they wanted it then.... what is the problem now??

A large part of the reason for high diesel prices is the Ukraine v Russia war
Another large reason is the Iran war and the splinter fights from Iranian fringe fighters around the Red Sea.
Demand, meanwhile has not slowed much.
This issue could continue into 2027
