Three of the four gas stations in our area had product to sell and no
lines. The big volume dealer -WaWa- was sold out and awaiting a tank
truck delivery later today.

We had spot shortages here and we don't even get our gas from that
pipe. Nobody in the peninsula does. It was just panic buying AKA a
media driven emergency. Now that everyone has every gas can and
tupperware bowl full of gas, supplies are recovering. I still got gas
yesterday at my regular station no line no problem regular price.



Cracks me up though.Â* Responding to the alternative methods to deliver
fuel, Biden's Energy Secretary stated that the pipelines
are the better way to transport it even though her boss axed the
Keystone pipeline.

Then she thumbed her typical liberal nose at the public by saying
that if people used electric vehicles, they wouldn't be experiencing
these fuel shortages.Â* She also happens to own stock in an electric
bus manufacturer that Biden visited to promote.
The value of her stock holdings are potentially worth $ millions
and she has not divested her holdings even though there's a
conflict of interest issue.

But what really cracks me up is none of these electric vehicle
advocates ever mention where the energy comes from to charge
up their electric vehicle batteries.Â* The vast bulk of it is
generated by fossil fuel plants. Plus, whenever energy is
transformed from one state to another there are losses involved.

Laws of physics prevail.




Speaking of alternatives, it's too bad these private sector companies
aren't devoting the necessary assets to hardening their systems so that
the hackers can't extort them.

Oh, the Keystone project...there are many many negative issues
associated with it. It's not as simple-minded as Trumpsters like to
portray it.

The main negative is they routed around some indian land and they were
not going to get the royalty. Also billionaires like Warren Buffett
were going to lose that rail traffic.
You don't have to spend much time in Montana or South Dakota to see
trains like this, 100 cars or more, hauling that Canadian sludge
south.

This grade crossing looked like this for about 10 minutes until they
all got through.
