Same here. Passed by a few gas stations on the way home, lines long as ever and it’s not looking any better. Felt like I won the lottery today getting gas this morning and not having to wait in any lines. The trucks can deliver all they want but they will just keep buying it up.
News that the pipeline has restarted will quell the hysteria somewhat.
Just got 96 rolls of TP my wife ordered.
Our chicken littles are still running around…….please don’t spoil their partyColonial Pipeline slowly restarts as Southeast U.S. scrambles for fuel
Colonial Pipeline began to slowly restart the nation's largest fuel pipeline network on Wednesday after a ransomware attack shut the line, triggering fuel shortages and panic buying in the southeastern United States.
Depends on what party you're in.
The Canadian pipeline? The one that was going to be tied up in courts forever based on all of the eminent domain cases?
Actually, inflation, as it pertains to lumber prices, began accelerating under Trump's watch last spring. But, I agree that it's Biden's responsibility now since he is President. It's similar to covid cases and deaths. The cases and deaths began, and most took place, under Trump's watch. But Biden is now President and so has responsibility for the government's response now. Inflation goes in cycles, in roughly 40-year cycles. We are now in the 40-year inflationary cycle.
It’s not deflection. The pipeline was for Canadian oil. I get that it has somehow been pitched as a driver for US energy independence but you can’t be independent while depending on another country to supply the product.
The pipeline, if not interdicted, would have become a reality and would have been beneficial. Projects like this, even major highway projects, or new heavy industry, are always problematic. But most of them get done. And many that don't get done where originally envisioned get done anyway, but someplace else.
the thing was an overall mess it had something like 40 spills in the first year alone. Its real easy to complain about it coming on your land when there is a pretty good chance it will ruin your land
This was updated this year. I'm not seeing anything prohibitive that hasn't been faced before. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-30103078.amp

Strange it went through over a year eviromental study with a full go ahead. One was by the Army Corp of Engineers. You do realize tanker trucks are required if there is no pipeline. Which do you think is safest? How million miles of gas pipeline do you think are in the ground now?Keystone oil spill casts doubt on the safety of proposed Keystone XL pipeline - The World from PRX
Opponents of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline say it threatens waterways and wildlife habitats along its route. Last month's spill from the original Keystone pipeline just helped them make their case.
Sorry it was 35
like 4 sites one including an interactive map of all oil spills in like a ten year span
We have fuel at three places in Kershaw right now. There are only 5 gas stations here.
well considering one spill of a full load of a tanker truck is about 9000 gallons and there was up to around 400,000 gallons in one pipeline spill - and that it can happen in a middle of an aquifer or other system of water and not the side of the road, I would imagine the trucks are probably safer
Just like Biden gives Trump no credit on the vaccine. Our country would be better off if Biden had not done anything since taking office.
So you blame Democrats for the spending bills and increased unemployment benefits that were started by a Republican president? Seems fair and balanced.
