I nailed this one first here guys:
Would rising prices(if legal)work better than state controlled Rationing in NJ after this hurricane?( November 03, 2012 · by sickoflibs) ·

One or two actually argued for the price controls on the thread.

Maybe if there weren’t price controls on gas the stations and terminals would spend the money to install standby generators to keep them pumping. The same with grocery stores. Instead of throwing away food..they could be in business if they weren’t flooded.
It’s funny, but developing countries with power problems have more standby generators and handle this type of power failure daily. If you don’t have standby power you can’t be in business.
It would probably only cost 30-50k to install standby at gas stations..
