Will the Nat’l Guard be drilling for oil?

No, and I'm sure the oil companies will expect absolutely no government help from the National Guard or any other government agency after the storm passes. They surely have all the resources they need to clear the roads and restore damaged infrastructure without any help from the U.S. taxpayers. All oil company employees should be on their own. If they don't feel part of this Country and look at natural disaster as a way to increase profits, fine. You're on your own. No help from Any government agency or charitable institution.

Good luck with that recovery. I'm sure profits will be back as soon as you find a way to do everything yourselves.

I'd rather buy gasoline from a foreign country than from those who would use a natural disaster to gouge more money from their fellow citizens.

If were in business and anticipated much higher wholesaler prices, I would up the price on my existing inventory (such as fuel already in the tanks) while still trying to attract customers. Business is not a charitable organization and differing gas prices is not price gouging.
