## Resource

The EPA just granted Alaska a 20-day waiver to use higher-sulfur diesel north of the Arctic Circle, easing fuel supply crunches caused by Middle East tensions. Designed to tap into local refining capacity and reduce costly long-haul shipments, the move could unlock tens of thousands of extra barrels — lowering prices for Alaskans while sparing modern engines from damage. Only certified equipment can use the fuel, and the waiver’s narrow scope ensures minimal environmental impact. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
