"But with barely a month of stockpiled diesel left and hundreds of forecourts running dry, the anxiety is palpable."

But what about their Vegemite stock?

Goin' green has its advantages.

As does not being idiotic enough to elect a child-epsteiner who incompetently starts a war of aggression to distract from his child-epsteining ways. But enough about the American people ...

Swing and a miss..... Australia has significant oil and gas formations in their country. They also skimped on refining.
So I will say it again..... Going green has it's advantages.

Whut? How does significant oil and gas formations and skimping on refining have anything to do with going green?

LOL Are you paid to solicit responses here? They once has 8 refineries now it's down to 2. Why??? I mean, at this point they pay other countries to refine oil and send it to them.. This was going to happen sooner or later, It's been talked about for years.

You came to a discussion site and you're complaining that I'm discussing?

I'm trying to understand the connections between the words you type. Frequently, they just seem to be soundbites that have no connection to your other statements in the same comment.

Plenty of nations don't have oil or refineries but had a steady supply of fuel. You pretending this has nothing to do with Trump and results from a failure to go green is predictable given your political leanings, though.

From the article: "Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz has stifled one fifth of the world's supply of oil. Much of this goes to the Asian refineries that supply Australia. Now, they're running short."
