The prices will go up because it is in short supply, but I wonder how quickly supplies can be replenished?

Comments?

Ask them if they oppose hydraulic fracturing now?

[topher]

A good reason to have pipelines between parts of the country that could move gasoline, diesel, natural gas, or propane.

But then that would make sense, and considering how Keystone pipeline has been shot down by environmentalists, probably will not happen.

I would rather the private sector handle these problems rather the government.

...how quickly supplies can be replenished?

As quickly as they can get it out of the ground. I live in Central Indiana. Normally, we get a solid two week stretch of cold weather, meaning the high temperature does not get above freezing. Sometimes it lasts longer. But usually it comes on one chunk and you're done. There can be days of cold, and snowstorms, other times. But its that two weeks I really consider the worst part of winter.

Not this year. Al Gore can go to hell if he wants to find some warming. It's not happening here.

Governor Jindal Declares Emergency for Propane and Fuel Delivery

Governor Bobby Jindal has taken note of this, and is making it a priority.

This may help -- since sending barges full of propane up the Mississippi River would a way to get lots of propane to the Midwest very quickly...
