BUSH-WACKED again.

 

[Green LT1]

What does Bush have to do with it? It is all a matter of supply and demand. I don't like it either, but we'll have to get used to it.

Guys, just a friendly advisory here: if this thread goes political, it's getting shipped off to the edge.

Those 7 rigs free-floating around the Gulf are gonna hurt. Figure another 20% hike by week's end..
A 15% hike here overnight just happened...

I don't think it's too much a matter of supply and demand as much as it's another wonderful opportunity to gouge the public!

I just saw on cbs news that in some parts of the atlanta area BP is charging more than $6 for premium. I expect that drive offs and gas related crimes will hit an all time high.

Anybody know a good bicycle forum?:eyerole

You don't think we've got enough to do already, Patrick?

You don't think we've got enough to do already, Patrick?

Yes I do. But you and Mac handle these "Edgy" situations so much better than Tammy and I.

Refining capacity, folks. That's what we're up against here. 92% of our refining capacity in the Gulf Coast area. And it's currently shut down because they have no power.

Sort of opens everyone's eyes to the fact that we haven't had any major expansion to our refining capacity, as a nation, since the early 1970's. All the oild in the world will do nothing if we can't refine it into gasoline.

Refining capacity... we need more.

we have our own in Texas, Louisana, Montana, Alasksa
We choose to pay 73 a barrel from oil companies....

Oil

Lets do some drilling and refining in Alaska. They have huge reserves, lots of land, and a pipeline. Yes, it takes time and money to set up.
The biggest problem is that environmentalists want to protect the permafrost and that region.
California and Mexico have large oil reserves too. Are we saving those until the last minute?

I read about the shutdown of the pipeline to Atlanta on drudge this morning. It hadn't made news yet.

Went and filled up at lunch. No lines, nothing untoward going on. $2.79 for regular (I was in the mazda, and the vette is parked with a full tank).

After work, I drove by station after station with HUGE lines extending out into the roads. I drove by a Citgo where I swear the prices were in the $4 range.

Panic has struck.

This too shall pass.

In regards to those seven rigs floating around. It makes me curious as to how much time and trouble it is to put them back in place, repare, and how they hook them back up. Also does anybody know the total number that are out there. With all this going on. I sure wish I had bought that Prius I was looking at instead of my Acura. 20/20 hindsight.
