Gas prices in some places in GA are now $5 a gal. Gas stations in TN are running out of gas during the day and people are keeping their tanks topped off.

This will be fixed within the next couple weeks. There was a major pipeline leak and all gas to the southeast was affected. The pipeline is being repaired and will be back in service within the next week.

The big question though - why is the entire southeast region dependent on ONE pipeline.

Because we can’t build new ones or new refineries, last refinery was built in the 70’s. The industry can no longer service the expanded population base.

He who controls food, water, energy, healthcare controls the nation.

Every one ought to read Ayn Rand.

commish, Don’t you know that the weird beards have noticed what cutting one pipe line can do to the entire southeast? I won’t be shocked at all if one day multiple sections of that pipe line or others just like it get blown up. Having to repair 4-5 destroyed sections would stretch resources and it could take months to repair, especially if a major junction or pumping station was hit.

Same reason we haven't built in oil refineries in over 30 years. The wacko enviro-nazis and greenies hate fossil fuel. Except when it comes to them.
