Get ready for higher prices and shortages, reminiscent of the Carter years.

I need a new to me truck and this time I'm in a good position. This could really drop the prices on pre owned vehicles which are grossly over priced. Bring on $5 a gallon.

Have they decided who the hackers are yet?

Two gas stations in this small south Ga town. One was at $2.69 reg yesterday. They're at $2.79 today. They're about to go up way more....filled up both trucks this morning...that should save a few $$....

....Other station is $3.19 for reg. Good grief!

Thanks Biden!!!

You need a plan like our grubeater she wants to shut down the pipeline and replace it with trucks boats and rail cars they'll have to go thru Wisconsin cause they wont be able to cross the straits Im guessing

That pipeline is decades old. Much older than the software. Surely it can run manually.

What I read said that it is a ransom-ware attack on company information systems but not operational systems . But all operations were shut down to prevent the hackers from creating an environmental incident and to give IT people time to determine whether other malware has been placed into the control systems for activation at a later date

There needs to be very severe penalties for people and countries that commit these cyberattacks.

It doesn't fit the agenda. Fossil fuels are bad. Need to increase the cost to reduce consumption. Americans have to much discretionary money.

I, too, was wondering if there's still anyone around that remembers turning valves by hand. It would probably confuse and stress out today's younguns.

Yes, raise energy price and taxes, that’s how the Democrats plan to control inflation that they caused.

I don't think you could find enough truck and rail capacity to equal the amount of product that pipelines carries.

It moves a hundred million gallons per day !

That would take at least 3300 rail cars each and every day.

Not to mention that in many areas the interstate highways are already maxxed out on big rigs.

I am being nice, it's ludicrous to think that the pipeline could go back to manual overnight if at all. Valves are one thing, what runs and monitor the pumping stations is another

Understandable considering decades of automation but FCOL, at least have some sort of back up SOP.

Just in time to use as an excuse to pass the trillions for infrastructure.
