Your farm is not sustainable. How is this anyone's problem?

Exactly what is your solution then? Can't just expand capacity overnight, will take years.

I dunno….. maybe have a president and administration that isn’t openly and completely hostile to energy??

Maybe not trumpet cancellation of oil and gas leases??

Maybe adopt the same energy policy that was enacted in 16-20?? Seemed to work pretty damn well. Didn’t it?

Expect massive food shortages in the fall/winter

Not sustainable

And there’s absolutely no reason for $5.60/gallon diesel or $4.25/gallon gasoline. A competent administration understands that energy prices are the most important input cost to produce goods and services…..unfortunately we do not have a competent administration in power right now. A competent president would decree US energy companies are being ordered to produce maximum energy in a nationwide effort to reduce energy prices to consumers and businesses to help control surging inflation.

If Trump were still president nearly every available tract of federally owned land would be opened for energy production……

Why are they shutting down? Surely they’re profitable. What is the incentive to do so?

Found this article that explains the whole refinery issue nation/worldwide

"In short, “too much refining capacity was closed during the pandemic,” Bloomberg Intelligence’s Valle said. “Diesel shortages and the price surge are likely here to stay.”

I've been prepping for 2 years but don't think I have what will "sustain" us for 2 years. Not sure what the breaking point will be but we are sure going to find out.
