At risk of smug, things like this really reinforce the arguments in favor of EVs.
Oh no, petroleum is more expensive... anyway...
One of the biggest oil exporter is doing more than all the other countries in accelerating the transition to renewables (in the western countries)
Satire is dead...
A thread from two weeks ago that talks more about the domestic Russian shortages: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1700589329012158830.html
Wait, so if the nation that has been 3 gas stations in a mob coat runs out of gas what does that make them?
losing the invasion they started
Special drilling, processing and fuel delivery operation time boys.
Are these shortages due to Ukraine wrecking their fuel depots?
That's ONE way to get Germany to participate in the sanctions...
Huh? Oil imports from Russia are down by 99.9%. 3500 tons were imported in January. That's basically 0 in the grand scheme of things.
Bruh living in the past
Sounds like you have no idea what Germany has been like in their "participation" of these sanctions. Germany has bitched and bitched about this.
But I thought daddy Putin would make sure I always have cheap oil!!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
MOSCOW, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Russia has temporarily banned exports of gasoline and diesel to all countries outside a circle of four ex-Soviet states with immediate effect in order to stabilise the domestic market, the government said on Thursday.
It said the ban did not apply to fuel supplied under inter-governmental agreements to members of the Moscow-led Eurasian Economic Union, which includes Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan.
"Temporary restrictions will help saturate the fuel market, which in turn will reduce prices for consumers," the government said in a statement.
The crunch has been especially painful in some parts of Russia's southern breadbasket, where fuel is crucial for gathering the harvest.
Russia has already cut its seaborne diesel and gasoil exports by nearly 30% to about 1.7 million metric tons in the first 20 days of September compared to the same period in August, according to traders and LSEG data.
"Daily monitoring of fuel purchases for the needs of agricultural producers with prompt adjustment of volumes has also been set up."
The original article contains 306 words, the summary contains 170 words. Saved 44%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I wonder how much of this is caused by Ukrainian strikes to refineries, storage tanks, and pipelines? (Not to mention diversion of Russian fuel to their war vehicles)
I think this article is talking about the finished products of oil, gasoline and diesel. They are still exporting oil to be refined elsewhere...

-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
