Gas Shortage

[JEBar]

we just got back home from a routine local drive to take care of several things .... we were surprised to see local stations out of gas and local enforcement directing traffic to handle the traffic at the local Sheetz station which is only one we saw that had gas .... gasoline prices have risen a dollar a gallon since the ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline .... as one who remembers the gas lines of the '70's, we sure hope they get the gas flowing again soon

Colonial say's it will be about a week before the main lines are on line, but it will take about 2 to 3 weeks before the product reaches the consumers. They have to fill up the lines from scratch with everything from regular gas to jet fuel and diesel, and it takes a while for it to travel thru 5500 miles of main and subsidiary lines. And that's assuming there's no problems. It's not as simple or easy as people think. In the meantime they'll be sending product to their distribution points in tanker trucks, so you're going to see a lot of those guys barreling down the freeways like they're hauling beer.

Sorry for the hassle. Waiting to see how it affects us in Ne.
I lived though the 73 nonsense. Interesting that we were energy exporters a couple years ago.

I'm no expert but it seems the professor on Gilligan's island had this issue solved. He taught Gilligan how to read a pressure gauge, perhaps it's time to harden the power grid, this was designed to fail

I got gas this evening after work. All seemed normal.

This is such complete nonsense, the state’s attorney general should go after any gasoline station owner or franchise for upping the price because of this cyber attack.

Agreed. But, that's as far as I'll go with this.

Saw same thing just now coming back from grandson's ballgame. Holly Springs,Cary,Raleigh. No cops. Should have at one station. Thru traffic was being block both ways. I ,to, remember the 70's shortage and fist fights at the pump. These days probably gun fights at the pumps.

A disgrace to the country and should be dealt with

We make the stuff in Alberta but can’t get it to market thanks to all the pipeline nonsense!
