Sen. Dan Sullivan called for a temporary moratorium on U.S. diesel exports until the conflict with Iran is resolved, saying it could help rebuild reserves and prioritize American consumers.
Sullivan called for a temporary pause in diesel exports until the conflict with Iran is resolved. He said U.S. diesel production is high while Alaskans are paying more at the pump, and argued that fuel should stay in the United States and reserves should be rebuilt before winter.
Sullivan said the moratorium should end when the conflict is resolved and U.S. inventories return to normal. He also pointed to increased Alaska energy production as a longer-term way to lower costs.
