The gas pipeline is still having issues and a few stations on the east coast are running out of gas.
Shortbus joe says the hackers are from russia.
"The dwindling supplies come just as the nation’s energy industry was preparing to meet stronger fuel demand from summer travel. Americans are once again commuting to the office and booking flights after a year of restrictions. Depending on the duration of the disruption, retail prices could spike, further stoking fears of inflation as commodity prices rally worldwide."

Judging from the long lines at the east coast gas stations, I surmise that if the SHTF, the east coast would collapse like dominoes...the definition of "unprepared".
ReplyDeleteImagine, a fuel disruption and then a cascading loss of power like they had that one time.
DeleteYep...most of the gas stations on Hwy. 29 northbound here in Pensacola, a major hurricane evacuation route, are out of gas today.
ReplyDeleteMaybe everyone took precautions and stocked up.
DeleteIn way south Texas, my daughter informed us that the lines at the local gas stations are running around the block...there is no shortage there..just a shortage of brains...
ReplyDeleteI have been expecting the same to happen here, but not yet thank goodness.
