Boosting US oil supplies with Russian diesel unlikely to have much impact on prices, experts say

3 days ago by Sunshine to c/boycottus

A new pact that calls for Russia to boost the U.S. supply of diesel over the next few months is unlikely to make a dent in painfully high prices at the pump or elsewhere, energy policy experts say.

Another thread human did the math:

Fun math time!
The US, by itself, uses roughly 3.83 million barrels of diesel per day. ( https://www.statista.com/... )

There are ~157 liters per barrel, so the US uses ~600 million liters per day.

There are roughly 1176 liters per ton.

The vaunted 300 000 tons is 352 million liters. A little more than half a day's usage.

This is nothing.

Also, bomb the ports and refineries.

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
