| Colonial Pipeline shuts down fuel lines due to Hurricane Ida |
| 2021-08-30 |
| The 5,500-mile Colonial pipeline that supplies almost half of the gasoline on the East Coast shut down Sunday Afternoon. The initial press released stated it was a preemptive measure and only "Temporary". But is looking like 2 to 3 days min. However, Six refineries that process 1.92 million barrels per day of oil into gasoline and other petroleum products, either shut or curtailed some production. That includes two Valero Energy (VLO.N) plants in Louisiana that combined process 335,000 barrels per day and Phillips 66's 255,000 bpd Alliance, Louisiana, refinery. |

| #4 I remember (roughly) a bumpersticker I saw during the 70's oil panic here in the 'Oil Patch': "If Yankees don't like Refineries they can freeze in the dark..." |

| #3 Sounds to me like y'all should be filling y'all's tanks while it's still cheap, to last y'all the two decades or so until we get a sane government and can get production online. How many thousand gallons can a civic hold? |
