It is and bizaare as well. I researched this quite extensively at lunch time and the upshot of this is that 27 of 27 Texas refineries which supply 26% of the nation’s fuel are essentially operating without any permits whatsoever and the EPA has said that’s “O.K.” for now. What actually happened, as I understood it from several news sources, is they upended the TNRCC (Texas Resource Commision) authority to grant permits and “killed” the permits previously granted by the TNRCC. Now.....here’s the kicker.........all of these refineries will have to do the Spring Turnaround where they essentially shut the refinery down for routine maintenance and to tweak the process to turn out the “summer” gasoline blend. But.....once they’re down; can they or will they be allowed to come back on without a permit?

I dunno, but gas is $3.00 a gallon now.......we could be facing far higher prices in the Spring and Summer of 2011.

Hussein is a Saudi puppet. His job is to islamify America and to make us permanent energy serfs/dhiminis to the Saudis who pretty much control the 6 US TV networks.

How do you propose to stop them? Show up with an army division?
