This is crazy. I stopped for gas just now having no idea what was happening. It’s out. People here told me they’d been to other stations and found the same. pic.twitter.com/7LDVdUXPo4
Operating a petroleum products pipeline is a complex operation. The pipelines ship batches of at least three grades of gasoline and batches of jet fuel and diesel fuel.
This is a major wakeup call as to how vulnerable our infrastructure is to hacking.
Our Election System is also vulnerable because of its reliance on computers and the media and the politicians keeps telling us: "There is no evidence".
Well, folks we know have hard evidence of our infrastructure vulnerabilities.
Wasn’t this hacking possible when President Dr. Trump was in office?
Long lines in Spanish Fort and Mobile, AL and Pensacola yesterday. Got all three vehicles fueled up though.
As we approach Memorial Day Weekend, this could become interesting.
I suspect that the same is true of diesel...but I hope not. I’m leaving right now to check the three stations near me that sell diesel to see if I can top off my tank.
Here are some more links from CFP
NC declares ‘state of emergency’ as gas stations run out of gas in Virginia/Atlanta/Florida
So, a Cyberattack takes out a pipeline, without ever dropping a bomb
And in less than a week, ‘state of emergency’

Starting to see gasoline shortages like in Washington, NC where stations have no gas and the ones that do have mile long lines of cars. They’re also putting $20 cap on stations that have gas.

Probably, but it didn’t happen under his watch.
Thanks for the reminder, I plan to gas up on the way into work today.
At least there will be fewer poor people on the road
It seems to only happen when leftists are in charge. Perhaps the hackers know that conservatives will make the penalty very painful if caught.
I’m getting a bit nervous. I live in Maryland and am two tanks west this week for work
Biden, Carter, they are inept and this is what happens.
Bingo. This is being allowed to happen.
The East Coast is Going GREEN!!
What we have evidence of is the incompetence or willful malfeasance of the illegitimate Biden admin.
I’m a cyber security expert, and I am stunned they have not corrected this hacking problem by now. This tells me there is far more going on than is being said and possibly this is nothing but a liberal attempt to keep the pipeline shutdown. Perhaps this is a liberal effort to claim pipelines are bad so people need to stop complaining about liberals shutting down pipelines like Keystone.
“””I suspect that the same is true of diesel...but I hope not.”””
Diesel will be impacted just as much as gasoline.
If Colonial cannot get the pipeline operating soon, expect to see some big rigs sitting.
Or perhaps it’s being allowed to happen and and we’re being told it is the work of hackers.
Now we start to find out what Joe Biden is made of.
Of course, he should have been working on this from the day he took office.
Who knows? This may have been planned by the same type of nefarious forces that unleashed the Wuhan Flu and stole the election.
