Gasoline shortages?

[DeadNutz]

Are any of our members feeling the effects of the pipeline shutdown by seeing long lines at gas stations? The bad news is that the pipeline also carries diesel and jet fuel. How do you get the gasoline to the stations if the delivery trucks have no fuel?

From cheap gas to long lines in 100 days. Thanks Joe Biden.

Pipelines?

The sources that I read announced the potential problem on Friday afternoon, so the wife and I went and filled our vehicles ahead of the rush. Normally we fill up on Sundays anyways, but I figured we'd get a jump on on info a few days early and man am I glad. Prices jumped to about $3 a gallon and lines at the gas stations have grown - and we're in AZ, not even in the affected area.

Pipelines?

mmm hmmm........

and the want to shut down more of them and prevent new ones to  be built and or  improved.

When you look at that map, we have one pipeline coming into our area in the northern part of the state. I would say we are vulnerable to a disruption in supply. I read where the supposed hackers sort of apologized and said they did the deed solely for profit and not to harm people. I think they earned themselves a visit from special forces or a Hellfire missle.

We had a major gasoline pipeline break 17 years ago in Tucson. Was many decades old and had evidence of hairline cracks, it failed and sprayed several house close by with gas. Phoenix up the road had shortages for a week as I recall, and thank God a fire didn't break out. But all the homes had to be demolished after that. Could have been a real disaster.

Yep, looks like the people in charge are using this as an excuse to jack up prices.

Liberals hate gas. so this is the plan force electric powered vehicles down our throat cause they`ve got ample tec and charging set ups to run the whole country now.

Good head start on the "green raw deal"

Plenty of panic buying here, a number of stations are out.

Read in the paper this morning that Colonial is operating manually and thinks they will be back to 100% by Friday

As much as I dislike the way the country is heading, I don't think you can blame the progressives for this.  Not saying they won't use it to their advantage because they will. 

As to electric cars, I can see myself in one at some point.  I like the idea but will wait until they are better developed and priced decently

We have plenty of Teslas running around here due to EM's buddies up at the lake. I just can't picture ranchers loading up their trailers with livestock and pulling it with their electric truck. I also wonder how electric semis will do going over Donner Pass and how much their range will be limited by mountain grades.

Idiocy on full display. If brains were dynamite that lady wouldn't have enough to blow her nose.
