@StealthQE4 Wait - how is this different from the past 10 years again?

[atypicalguy @atypicalguy]

This is a silly analysis. The US makes more than enough diesel to meet domestic needs. We just sell it to people in other countries. If we stop selling it abroad, there is no US externality to Ukraine's targeting of Russia's refineries. End of story. Trump could do it instantly...wonder why he doesn't?

[atypicalguy @atypicalguy]

@StealthQE4 Let's see how many Russian power plants UKR take out tomorrow.

@multiplanet1 Sorry but what is the engineer's name, and where can I read his interview?

[atypicalguy @atypicalguy]

@the_transit_guy Agreed. Somehow this doesnt seem like the reliable news Elon promised everyone when taking over twitter...almost like that wasnt the goal at all

[atypicalguy @atypicalguy]

We dont need Russian diesel, and this is a tri ial amount anyway. We make plenty here. The problem is that US oil companies export it. All he has to do is ban the export of diesel from the US, and this problem is solved. But fundamentally cares more about oil companies than truck drivers .

[atypicalguy @atypicalguy]

@ChrisDorworth Tiny amount, like a few days. Won't affect pricing. If he wanted to help, only has to ban US diesel exports. Doesn't fundamentally care about US consumer; only looking good for election.

@Afghansisraelit @WarClandestine Its almost like if we just kept our own diesel inside the US, instead of selling it on the world market at the global price, it wouldnt cost as much!

[atypicalguy @atypicalguy]

@WarClandestine Wait - didnt we cut off all aid to Ukraine a few months ago?

[atypicalguy @atypicalguy]

@eljefe1america @ajlamesa What specific change are you proposing then?

[atypicalguy @atypicalguy]

@Turnoffyourtv1 @bscholl Lets see your stuff hot shot.

[atypicalguy @atypicalguy]

@StealthQE4 @curvylinc50 Uh no, we don't. We just have to stop selling our diesel to other countries.

[atypicalguy @atypicalguy]

@StealthQE4 @vvavxxvi @BradMunchen All Trump has to do is stop exporting diesel from our own refineries, and this problem will go away. The situation is entirely self inflicted.

[atypicalguy @atypicalguy]

@StealthQE4 Everything seemed to be going well until we attacked Iran with no plan whatsoever...

@Andercot The battery energy density has been "happening soon" for decades. In the interim, fossil fuels rule the sky for human transport.

[atypicalguy @atypicalguy]

@eljefe1america @ajlamesa You arent getting rid of insurance. Regulating it is a far more practical objective. If you can make cash pay work, that's great.

[atypicalguy @atypicalguy]

@Weather_West Ok so more rain more often in the desert SW. Got it.

[atypicalguy @atypicalguy]

@eljefe1america @ajlamesa Except for all those people without any healthcare, right? And the ones with preexisting conditions.

[atypicalguy @atypicalguy]

@KayMozart @HamelinRolf @Handre Agreed. This is not a serious discussion of anything.
