One category of regulation that suppresses the availability of diesel is biofuel requirements. The government coerces refiners into converting to biofuels, which puts refineries out of commission for extended periods. 1/2 current refinery shutdowns are due biofuel conversions. https://t.co/GmoXEf5f7R — PolitiTweet.org

The shut-down Virgin Islands refinery also has the potential to expand to 450K barrels/day—over 100K barrels/day of diesel. But instead of eagerly working with the refinery to address any pollution issues, the Biden EPA has said it is under no "pressure." — PolitiTweet.org

Government biofuel mandates, including "blending" mandates, make the refining of diesel and other fuels more expensive—discouraging investment in greater diesel capacity, even though more diesel is needed around the world. https://t.co/v35VwsFiPX — PolitiTweet.org
