Potential for two major fuel pipeline shutdowns this week shows fragility of North America's energy system
Financial Post ^ | 5/10/21 | Geoffrey Morgan

The outage on the Colonial Pipeline could be exacerbated by a Michigan state order forcing Enbridge Inc.’s Line 5 pipeline — supplying oil to Michigan, Ohio, Ontario and Pennsylvania refineries — to shut down on Wednesday, which could further strain U.S. oil supply. Calgary-based Enbridge has vowed to defy the order and continue shipping oil through the line until forced to close by a court. Analysts believe shutting down Line 5 could cause higher fuel and propane prices in affected areas in the U.S. Midwest and Central Canada as well as potentially thousands of layoffs.

One of these things is not like the other.

Also it seems to be lost in the news that Biden let Chinese companies have access to our power grid again a few weeks back.

If you don’t have clean backup software and manual over-rides for these systems, something is wrong.

If only we would have had a few (4) $Trillion to spend on infrastructure (maybe for ‘shovel-ready’ jobs) to fix all this.

Phoenix metro has two gas pipelines coming into it. One from El Paso and one from Long Beach. AZ has no oil refineries. If one of the pipelines goes down for any significant period of time (week, 10 days), as it they have rarely. It’s a disaster. Gas lines, price gouching.

Let’s see what happens.

Well good for them.

A top White House national security official said the U.S. intelligence community is working to determine whether the hackers of the Colonial Pipeline have ties to the Russian government.

Ah geez, not this crap again. Sure it wasn't white supremacists?

How convenient right before Memorial Day plus this...The Colonial Pipeline attack comes as the Biden administration works to pass a $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan aimed at addressing, in part, America’s critical infrastructure vulnerabilities.

Don’t you see we are vulnerable and must pass this bill.

No, it shows that this situation is CONTRIVED. All the shortages are contrived. MIcrochips, lumber, cars, gasoline, groceries. This is not natural, it is planned.

This country is so screwed as long as those f^&%$!$ liberal dems are allowed to do what they do. I got a feeling things are going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better. God help us...
