I was listening to a liberal radio show out of NYC last night - they are sure they can use court orders to get the refinery and oil infrasructure back up and running.
EOC New Conference:
Man FEMA director doing a good job. McClellan had it right. Talk to FEMA.
Sounds like an adult. FEMA just don't jump in.
Where do we start on this one.
You just dont start up a refinery by flipping a switch.
If the refractory in the furnaces has been wet it has to be s l o w l y brought up to temperature, make sure all tubes are full of feed and pumps running etc etc.
Long drawn out process, not easy by any means and can be very dangerous if not done exactly right.
Of course! But . . . shouldn't they have just got a court order to send Katrina out to sea without doing any harm?
