"They were expected the Houston refineries to be pummelled....it doesnt appear that way."
And it will be great if they are not. But it will be days before they are up and going again at full steam. Texas just used a whole lot of Gas to get out. And they will use a lot of Gas to come back. If we don't have a Gas shortage in at least the short term then someone has been lying to us about why we have been paying more than $3.00 for Gas and $2.70 for Heating oil. The only way we could not have a shortage is if we never had one in the first place.
I heard one refinery hasnt shut down in 38 years!
