    Example A of why wood gassifiers are great for preppers.

    I’m not saying it can keep your car running indefinitely. But in an oil production collapse, it can keep it going for a bit.

    Russia’s principal export is oil. Things must be in shambles if they can’t meet their domestic needs.

      In 2014 Putin bragged that he could take Kiev in 2 weeks. 4 1/2 years later he’s stuck in a quagmire and losing ground. It’s good to see Ukraine taking the fight to Russia and making the general population begin to feel some consequences for the actions of their leadership.

        Sure but a dozen or so people die every time Moscow bombs Kyiv. Russians experiencing economic inconveniences in retaliation doesn’t really cut it. I want to see the current course leading to a turn of the tide, or else we’re simply not doing enough for Ukraine.

      Yes and I believe they are on a rationing system so it’s not just panic buying causing this price but the actual scarcity. They have lost the war and probably their state. No way Putin recovers this. It’s just how long he can hold on at this point

    How long until Russian officials start distributing crude oil to residents for them to refine in makeshift distilleries at home in their back yards?

    Alternatively, how soon until Russian citizens convert their automobiles over to run on wood gasifiers?

    In the near future I expect to see a bunch of these type of cars waiting in line at the Kerch bridge to get out of Crimea.
