πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί Australia is running out of Diesel, and right before Winter seeding where they seed anywhere from 64-67 million acres of land.

Australia's Agriculture industry consumes 2.5 billion liters of fuel using 7.5% of all the country's diesel production in a short period of time.

In the past 20 years Australia has shut down 6 of their 8 refineries that make fuel and are only left with less than 20% refining capacity to meet their own domestic needs. Recall, this is an island, unlike Canada that leverages the USA for its refining, Australia has to import 90% of all their diesel fuel.

With only a 25-30 day stockpile of fuel this isn't looking good. You need 58 million barrels of raw crude just to make enough diesel for the agriculture industry. Considering that 50% of fuel use in Australia is diesel, it makes perfect sense that there is a scarcity of fuel.

Australia consumes 575,000 barrels/d of diesel while producing only 75,000 barrels/d of diesel. This is a globalists wet dream, Albanese is really impressed with this I am sure.

Regional Crop Production Leaders (2025–2026)

-Western Australia: 26.9 million tonnes
(New state record; produced 40% of the nation's wheat.)

-New South Wales: 18.0 million tonnes
(Heavy hitter in wheat and the primary hub for cotton.)

-South Australia: 9.2 million tonnes
(Massive recovery year for barley and lentils.)

-Victoria: 10.4 million tonnes
(Record-breaking yields for barley and pulse crops.)

-Queensland: 3.9 million tonnes
(Record winter crop; major producer of chickpeas and sorghum.)

Half of Dutch fleet idle as European fishing hit by high diesel prices

"The fishing industry ​is emerging as an early European casualty of soaring diesel costs amid the Iran β€Œwar, with at least half the Dutch fleet staying in port this week."

"Fish will disappear from the menu."


β€” as indeed has been the plan of the technocrats to eliminate traditional farming, ranching, fishing and take total control of food.

So an opportunity has presented itself. My sister bought a pizza place to gut and flip the building. It's got a walk in cooler and a 2nd chamber that is a freezer. The whole thing is 16' long and 9' wide. I measured every panel yesterday and I can rearrange them to fit. Also, it has two vault type insulated doors and a wall section with a glass door... I'll remove the glass door panel and have enough left over pieces to fill in the gap. (panels with X's are vault doors and panel with V is the glass door). So, for the labor of cutting 4 pieces of foam wall material and trimming the width down to 88" to fit my basement corridor, we'll have a huge walk in freezer/cooler.

Final dimension 16ft x 88inches.

* left original layout, right modified to fit my basement.

Anyone wanting to know... this is how a walkin cooler goes together.

From here you can install a minisplit airconditioning unit to keep it at 38F.

My kid sister is considering moving up here to the "compound". She and bro in law talking about ICF house like this one but smaller,.. 1200ft^2 each floor and bulding it half into a hillside. From uphill it would look like a house on a crawlspace, but on the downhillside would have a walk in basement. She wants a concrete floor so it is quieter. So I just did some quick math for her..... We can do all the labor except pouring the two concrete slabs....

$ 3,800   concrete for foundation 30x40'.
$15,700 various ICF blocks (corners, 45's , straight runs, etc)
$12,200 concrete in ICF blocks
$ 5,400 LiteDeck ICF floor deck
$ 4,800 concrete for first floor decking
--------
$41,900

This gets her slab foundation, exterior walls 20' high (it is two story), first floor, retaining wall. Did not include cost of rebar nor the roof. Once she adds a roof, she'd be dried in with 2400ft of heated and cooled space. Expected heating bill would be about $280 a year (based on my house being $350 a year.

I just broke down the above costs for MATERIALS assuming $200/yard concrete costs. Around these parts , the concrete guys charge the same as materials for their labor, so $5000 of concrete becomes $5000 in labor for a total of $10k.

ICF blocks seem to be about $25/each.

Concrete slab on grade $3.20/ft2
Concrete slab labor $3.20/ft2
Walls (L x W x H) ICF blocks and concrete to fill them $10/ft2
Floor deck (L x W) ICF forms and concrete for floor $8.20/ft2
Concrete labor $3/ft2 for floors.

I'm not sure what a stick build house costs per foot. Most stick build houses are assumed to be 8' walls and are priced per square foot of floor space... I'm not sure how much stick built exterior walls cost... but spray foam ain't cheap and building codes require zip sheathing for air ingress. These ICF costs replace studs and sheathing now and insulation that you'd have to buy later anyway.

For those new to the channel, I have an ICF 4800ft2 house and my actual measured cost of heat and air cond for the year is $350. I'm using a 3.5ton ducted minisplit heat pump. The SEER rating is 16. ICF may cost a little more but it saves you money for a lifetime.

I just compared notes with a local guy who built his house recently..... we adedd up zip sheathing, studs and spray foam and we're at $6.50 sqft of exterior wall. ICF costs $10/sqft. so 40% more... but much better wall.

what lite deck looks like when poured. Note if you need deeper vertical "T"s you add additional styrofoam spacers on the top prior to pouring and installing rebar.

Know he has done this a few times before......
I've drawn lite deck (litedeck) in sketchup such that it shows markings where the finished concrete deck is thinnest and where the furring strips are under the insulated panel.
