It is 23 days now. At this rate, we will run out after Christmas or the first of the year. Yes, they are producing, but use is faster than production. In September we had 35 days, end of October 25 days, so we are using about 10 days more a month than we are producing. Dems are not going to do anything, especially if they lose big time Tuesday. They will try to sabotage the Republicans. Even if the Republicans pass a law to open up drilling and pipeline construction, Brandon will veto it, as they want to destroy America. Maybe all the fry oil from restaurants can be collected and processed to make diesel, and that will help. Don't know if slowing trucks down to 55mph would use less or not. Trains, don't know what they would do. They could pull the old coal steam trains out of museums and use them, to decrease diesel use, but more coal would have to be mined and it would take at least a fireman to help on a steam locomotive, whereas only one engineer is on a diesel train.
Then, they could only ship food and drugs, and other non-perishable cargo would have to be put on hold, like clothes, shoes, furniture, and appliances. Hello recession or depression.
Cutting back on drilling and pipeline construction has contributed to the shortages and high prices worldwide.
Dems say oil companies have tied up leases and not used them. In defense of the oil companies. It takes time to move existing drilling equipment once a well is finished to a new location. The first have to go in and use sonic tests on the leases to see where to drill. It may take a year or two or maybe more to get a drilling rig going on a lease. Stupid dems want to blame the oil companies, but they are the ones that restricted them in the first place. They have no concept of how to run a business.
