Things will change as the current world situation is showing the power grids are not up to the challenge and won't be for the foreseeable future . The total infrastructure takes several decades to update . ( takes time to make the equipment ) .
As much as everyone of you would like to see it facts are facts.

No one wants to see this. But what I predicted in the first post of this thread is coming through a lot faster than I even thought.

The time frame is not workable I forsee a postponing of the implementation date . So as not to anger green movement people by outright canceling the proposal of no more ice

One of the reasons the fuel is so expensive right now, not the only reason, but one of them, is that the oil companies are not investing in opening up more. They see all of this writing on the walls and they are not putting money into it anymore. They are paying better dividends now instead.

They are hedging against government regulations and not allowing any more lease sales which by the way is actually in violation of federal laws . The current administration is violation the law .
Now if the government was trying to destroy your business wouldn't you try to save as much capital as possible? And no I'm not seeing any improvement in dividends actually the reverse in the energy sector.

Yeah. That’s another one of the reasons. There are several reasons. I said that.

But, petroleum products are about to become a niche market. Like boats. Where everything is expensive. That’s coming fast.

Here’s an article about the dividends for you. It’s a pay wall. But I didn’t find another one quickly.

Gasoline is under more pressure because that’s what’s going to become the niche. Diesel will probably not be going anywhere for a while. It’s needed for transportation. The amount of it being used probably won’t change much in the near term. Not until they start doing battery swapping or something.

The change to electric vehicles is a joke. They are powered by coal and natural gas.

When you see 300 new nuclear reactors being built as quickly as is possible, then electric vehicles (boats, cars, trucks, planes) will finally be sensible.

Until then, its a sick joke that is destroying the world's infrastructure.

I bet civilization will fall before those reactors are built.

I don't really care my horizon is shortening and I have no doubt diesel will be available til' I'm gone

It’s a pretty bad joke actually. Not sure why I paid all this money for these internal combustion engines that I have.

But just to be accurate, Energy in the United States is currently produced 60% fossil fuels, 20% nuclear and 20% wind/solar/etc

Destroying 60% of the energy infrastructure BEFORE even beginning to build plentiful replacement is insane.

That is what is happening. Oil companies are not reinvesting in production because governments are changing the "rules" to stop those sources.

Yep. But it’s happening. Might as well be ready for it.

You get yourself ready to live on 40% (or less) of the amount of food you eat.

Crops do not grow on industrial scale farms without lots of diesel. Food does not transport without lots of diesel.

Enjoy this autumn and winter. While watching your kids starve, you can tell them, "Buck up sissy, this is nothing! Wait 'til next year, when there will be zero to eat."


Starvation is a consequence of ignoring reality and wholly believing an insane fantasy.

They are not increasing dividends they are just not cutting them and 5.9% while not bad also isn't good . my portfolio averages just over 8.5%
