I heard that there is a shortage and they are way more expensive than last year. Welcome to the green new deal.

Ah yes "The Green New Deal" that never happened. It's their fault.

Oh you meant the "inflation reduction act" that applied billions over 10 years for new renewable energy. That bill you're talking about then not the fear mongering Fox News fake bill? The one that pays for itself in the first year with taxes on stock buybacks. That one?

That act allocated funds for renewable energy. How does that reduce wood pellet supplies? Would it not incentive them seeing how it's considered a renewable energy source?

Or are they more expensive because.... Everything is more expensive? All inputs including labor (because wages are up) are up so of course it's more expensive.

You're going to blame your coffee that's now $2 from $1.50 last year on this fake bill you made up too?

I bet you think there's only 25 days of diesel left too.

I know that diesel prices are up 33% in a month and that diesel is being rationed.

First off, the number they're throwing around is based on days of reserve. The only time that would actually matter is if all cracking and refining was shut down completely.

Second of all, it's always being rationed. Distributors and stations can only buy so much fuel. If you have a bunch of morons going berserk and filling all their jugs with diesel and fuel oil then the dealers are going to run out and they can only buy so much more.

That's what happens when the tin foil comes out in force by people who have absolutely no idea how the oil/fuel industry works.

TLDR: we're not running out of diesel. Stop it.

They really hate you here dude. However, that’s true about diesel. Especially in northern New England.

I'm deluding myself that diesel prices are much higher. Maybe you should come out of your parents basement and drive by a fuel station.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the "green new deal". Oil prices are up worldwide and driving people to alternatives. Maybe aim your blame at COVID, Ukraine, OPEC, or something that makes a shred of sense.

It's actually quite simple, but not simple enough for the progressives in this forum to understand. The President declares war on the fossil fuel companies, he said it, on his first day in office. Shuts down the construction of all pipelines in the U.S. Consequently, energy prices increase dramatically causing people to seek alternative sources to heat their homes.

The Green New Deal only exists on paper and was not passed lmao people just eat this shit up from foxnews I guess.

We are seeing a green new deal lite thanks to Joe Manchin. Manchin was smart enough to see the consequences of reckless spending and rising fuel prices. Is that all you have, Fox News. You should really stick to the talking points. It's Trump, January 6 and then Fox News.

You are making shit up because you're either too stupid to understand how legislation works and are backtracking, or are being willingly obtuse because you have to bang a partisan drum at the expense of logic / critical thinking.

you can't really be that ignorant?

I know that facts are difficult to understand with certain individuals. Being ignorant applies to you and your woke minions who refuse to accept what is in front of you. Maybe you live in your parents basement and don't have to pay for fuel or groceries. You're too busy being focused on gender fluidity and celebrating abortion in the third trimester.

What does the gnd have to do with the price of pellets?

How about Trumps tarrifs causing the price of imports to go up

Biden could have lifted those tariffs, but kept them in place. Trump is gone, you have to get him out of your head.
