“The blunt tool of banning diesel exports definitely doesn’t work. That same refinery that produces diesel also produces gasoline and jet fuel, so if you can’t export the diesel that comes out of our refineries, you run out of places to store it, and you have to reduce U.S. refining, which would put upward pressure on gasoline prices and jet-fuel prices.”
— Energy Secretary Chris Wright, quoted by The Economist, as the White House is reportedly mulling a ban on diesel exports.
