  1. Ban fracking, close the country’s biggest gas storage facility, shift dependence to unreliable renewables and then wonder what happened.

    The West has been electing imbeciles for years and now the costs of those decisions can no longer be ignored.

  2. Good practice for what’s coming. We’ll be lining up for bread soon. And we’ll like it.

    Wonder if this is a purposeful push to force people to buy electric?

    As always,
    Enjoy the decline.

    1. I believe any rush to mandate EV’s will rapidly overwhelm natural resources and they will quickly end up being scarce and only affordable to the rich. There are not the resources to build hundreds of millions of vehicles, the batteries to power them, nor the hundreds of thousands of public and countless private charging stations… let alone still supplying computer, cellphone, solar panel industries, etc., etc..

      With government legislation constantly beating down car owners in general and now deliberately sabotaging fuel supplies and affordability, it is pretty clear that they want the middle-class riding bicycles home from those bread lines.

    2. Johnboy stated… “We’ll be lining up for bread soon.”

      as the prepper community says… “we’re nine meals from anarchy.”

  3. The upcoming climate jamboree in Glasgow is going look silly with diesel generators running behind the curtain.

  4. As many cars are now holding more fuel than usual, we expect that demand will return to its normal levels in the coming days

    Wha, wha, whaaaat? Who ARE these people!? Are they daft!? So gas tanks got bigger in the past month? That’s why there’s a gas shortage?

    The scoundrels who engineer these FAKE shortages sure treat the public as ignorant rubes. Yeah … our gas tanks got bigger. Uh huh. Jeebus H. Khryst!

    1. Kenji come on, surely the average tank is about 1/3 full normally. With the scare everyone goes to a full tank. Of course the petrol tanks did not get bigger.

    2. Nah, they are just keeping them full all the time. I top up at the three quarter mark unless I am travelling.

  5. How bout I share with all of you how troubling this may be for everyone in the future. I’m talking about food, fuel, grains, meats and the inputs required to grow and export all of these things around the world. My fertilizer costs have more than doubled from last years values and that’s on the low end, they weren’t exactly sure, may be more.
    Some chems are out of stock, dealers ordered in spring and still have not seen delivery with no price quoted. We are very much on the cusp of something that will shake our foundation of how we live if thing’s continue and supply levels remain unbalanced. I’m not worried as I will always eat, but if your view is only bricks and mortar I’d be concerned about making ends meet.

    1. I watched a video last year that a rancher took of himself with his herd in his Texas pasture. He said he got a letter from the government — I think it was the federal bureau of agriculture or some such — stating that they will come to euthanize his herd when it ceased to be sustainable. He had no idea what this meant, and had never received any such communication like that before.

      He seemed to be legit. He showed the letter. Assumed it was authentic; of course I couldn’t possibly tell. It sounded crazy enough to come from a government.

      This rancher seemed to have a tinge of panic in his voice. He got me worried at the time. Since then I put it out of my mind. Now recent events have put it back front and centre.

      First the animal cull, then the people cull.

      Just remember: Soylent Green is PEOPLE!

  6. Well, I just filled my tank, and since I don’t drive much because I’m not currently working thanks to Covid, (and the mandates), I expect that I’ll be all right for the next 2 and a half years………….

    When life hands you lemons…

  7. Well done Bojo, well done.

    Another CINO fraud. Turns out his opponents were right after all.

    He’s a clown.

  8. It is coming … they will soon take away remaining urban gas stations to be sold to create condos for eco-people who really love walking and biking, until they are older and can’t do it. Time to stock up again with MEAT, TP, good ingredients, veggies and fruit and gas.

    Hey to my kids: you voted for this, not I.

  9. L.,

    It’s hard to walk the three blocks to the market, or wait at the bus stop when you are old, frail, and disarmed; especially if the police are defunded, and there are three gangs of muggers working your streets. It is even tougher for young women and children too.

    Uptown Minneapolis used to be a great neighborhood, especially for young unattached or newlywed adults. Now, after the BLM riots after George Floyd, and more riots this Summer after a felon died in a police shootout in the area, it has pretty gone to shi*. Carjackings, shootings, and street crime has all the people looking over their shoulders, and planning on moving.

    Gas Stations? The BLM riots usually take care of those. The Stop-N-Shop across from the 4th Precinct finally reopened 16 months after it was looted and burnt out.

  10. The obvious next action by parliament will be to mandate smaller fuel tanks.

    Yet another way for EV’s to achieve parity with ICE vehicles.
