📣 Diesel or net zero, how long can we have both for? 📣 📰 Donald Trump has told Europe to release emergency diesel or risk being cut off from American supplies.  Britain joined crisis talks after he threatened a ban on diesel exports to France and Germany.  The White House aides say American farmers, truckers and businesses should not carry a global diesel shortage.  Britain imports 55 per cent of its diesel, about a third of that from the United States.  There are more than 15 million diesel vehicles on the road, and the price has broken £2 a litre.  Net zero and green policies led us to shut refineries, Britain closed two last year, and stocks have fallen.  Trump’s stance is that a shortage you built is a shortage you answer for.  Are we going to reopen the refineries, now that fuel is a national security problem, not an export CO2 emissions to hit a climate target problem?
