The Department of Transportation declared a regional emergency Saturday affecting four Midwest states after a fire earlier this week caused an “unanticipated shutdown” of a BP oil refinery in Indiana.
BP Whiting, the sixth largest refinery in the U.S. refining over 400,000 barrels of oil per day, shut down to undergo damage assessment after a fire knocked out the plant’s electrical power and cooling water systems on Wednesday, Reuters reported. The shutdown caused the federal government to take action and address the looming shortage of fuel output that will affect Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, states that collectively receive up to 25% of their fuel from the Whiting refinery.

This is what the emergency reserves are for, not for that scumbag Biden to siphon off and give to China.

Been a lot of suspicious fires, lately…
An oil refinery, no less. I’m in Illinois.
Maybe it won’t be out of action for long.
We hope…

Now a fire at an oil refinery. I hope that doesn't become a thing, too.

You need to ask the moderators to change the date of the article. Or, is it really 10/27/22? If so, I’ve missed a few birthdays.

Many accidents to come?
This is the latest in a series of strange refinery fires over the last two years.
I’m thinking we’re into the upper teens now.

I meant affecting my state. It’s in my Uncle’s state of Indiana. His 90th birthday is next month. Maybe he can get a skateboard if gas goes too high.
