Ivan Penn and Peter Eavis report:
An export ban, as some Republican lawmakers and candidates see it, would lower costs by keeping more diesel at home. That would reduce fuel costs for farmers, truckers and other businesses.
But many energy experts say a ban would not lower prices for long and could ultimately backfire. That’s because a ban could prompt U.S. oil refineries to make less diesel, which would cause the fuel’s price to rise again. Restrictions on diesel exports could even reduce the supply of gasoline, jet fuel and other fuels that are made alongside diesel in refineries. [emphasis added]
According to Merriam-Webster, the first-known use of 'skyrocket' as a verb, as in to cause to rise or increase abruptly and rapidly, occurred in 1886.
