a shiny new refinery would be beautiful. The point of the gasout is to reduce consumption. Our just in time delivery system means that a hiccup in consumption could break the price spiral.

"Our just in time delivery system means that a hiccup in consumption could break the price spiral."

Any guess as to which way the price will go after the 'price spiral' is broken? Hint: it won't be down.

But in reality, a one day event won't affect anybody but the retailers (and you may get to stand in line to buy your gas tomorrow). Now a month long boycott would really get everyone in the supply train's attention.
