Republicans have intensified their criticism of President Joe Biden and his energy policies for the shortage of distillate fuel oil that they’re calling a looming “diesel crisis” that will hurt American families.

Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) show that diesel stockpiles, in October, are at their lowest level among records that go back some 14 years. As of Oct. 21, the United States had nearly 26 days of supply, a drop from around 34 days five weeks ago.
