DIESEL SHORTAGE: I’ve been hearing an increased number of reports of diesel outages.
It’s been spotty for the last few weeks, localized issues, but now seems to really be hitting home.
Above is Allentown, PA.
What are you seeing in your neck of the woods?
Are they going to pull the rug after the election?
It’s a good day to top off tanks, charge batteries, rotate supplies, …

UK confirms it will not insure ships carrying Russian oil (90% of insurers now)
The UK has gone completely mad, as the treasury has confirmed it will not allow any British insurers to cover ships carrying Russian oil from December 5.
By December 5, tanker owners that fly any European Union flag or carry P&I insurance from an EU or UK club can no longer have crude oil onboard that originated in Russia, unless Russia has sold the crude to the buyer at or under a price cap pushed for by G7 members. The US is expected to join the insurance ban shortly meaning more than 90% of the world’s insurers will shun Russian-linked crude tanker business from next month.
[IAF: remember the #AbsoluteZero plan was to eliminate shipping by 2030]
“We continue to stand by Ukraine in the face of Putin’s barbaric and illegal invasion,” UK finance minister Jeremy Hunt said

“Global societal collapse “ warns 42-year old hedge fund with near perfect record
The world is “on the path to hyperinflation”, which could lead to “global societal collapse and civil or international strife.”
The firm, led by billionaire Paul Singer and Jonathan Pollock, told its clients that “investors should not assume they have ‘seen everything’” just because they have been through the peaks and troughs of the 1987 crash, the dot-com boom, and the 2008 global financial crisis, or previous bear and bull markets.
They added that the “extraordinary” period of cheap money is coming to an end and has “made possible a set of outcomes that would be at or beyond the boundaries of the entire post-WWII period.”

Germany Backstops Commodity Traders as War Drives Resource Dash
[ IAF: This is basically akin to nationalizing the entire commodities market — so long free market as we dash towards #AbsoluteZero carbon agenda! ]
Germany is offering loan guarantees to commodity trading houses to buy energy and key metals, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sparks a global scramble for resource security.
Trafigura Group, the world’s biggest trader of copper, has already agreed to supply German customers with non-Russian metals for the next five years, helped by $800 million in bank credit that’s ultimately guaranteed by the German government. The trading house is now discussing a similar deal for liquefied natural gas, according to people familiar with the situation, and commodity bankers are pitching more deals that would have state guarantees to other traders. [Yeah, I’m sure the bankers would love to pitch many deals with all risk pushed to sovereign! ]

UK draws up emergency plan for extended blackouts and resulting crises, & potential undersea cable attacks
The UK government is laying the groundwork for a "worst-case scenario" of week- or longer blackouts.
The “official sensitive” document warns any outage could cause “severe” knock-on disruption to food, transport, water supply, communications and energy sectors.
Plans include prioritizing access to food for the young and elderly, preserving two analog radio stations on backup power, and rationing households by “intermittent access” to grid power.
It could also apply if there is an attack from another state on sub-sea power cables. [!!!]

France trying desperately to restart nuclear reactors, but labor union strike delaying maintenace!
France generates roughly 70% of its electricity from a nuclear fleet of 56 reactors, all operated by EDF. However, many of them have been closed down for maintenance, some due to corrosion-related issues. Currently, only 31 units are reportedly operating. EDF has pledged to restart all shutdown reactors before winter to avoid power shortages in the country.
However, since October 6, there have been strikes among EDF employees involved in repair work at 19 reactors, delaying maintenance by several weeks.
Last month, the French national electricity grid operator RTE warned that it would not rule out the risk of blackouts this winter due to prolonged strikes halting the repair.

Australia: flooding damages $150 million of wheat alone in NSW
Agronomists say the grain-growing hub of the north-west is expected to have "conservatively" lost more than 120,000 hectares of wheat that was nearly ready to harvest.
The region also boasts large barley and canola outputs and is in the summer planting window for crops such as cotton and sorghum.
“this ongoing wet weather with flood after flood after flood is just unbelievable."
Unbelievable losses, particularly when the world is already short on #wheat and other grains…
