Everybody who knows ANYTHING about how pipelines work, knows that they do not send fuel directly to gas stations, but rather to tank farms which hold at least a month or more of storage capability. ALL these tank farms were full at the time of the alleged "hack" and had ample supply to feed the gas stations. So you need to be asking why were they not continuing to fill the trucks while they sorted out the "hack"?
This was a pre-planned FF to direct attention away from the audits and likely other current events. Don't let them fool you!
The gas companies even said back in February, "hey don't blame Biden, guyss, we are raising them because we anticipate the price to skyrocket in a month or so due to supply failures."
I can try to find the articles, hopefully they haven't been memory holed.
HaHaHa
No kidding! How long are they going to beat this dead horse?
...until (((they))) think they've won.
Btw- you are correct about storage in tank farms...they are everywhere in my area and I live just down the road from the largest petrochemical plant in the World.
I too thought about it and considered canceling our plans. At this point the full tank should get us there and back. I'm trying really hard to get back to something normal. I haven't done anything fun in so long...I am done with this control.

yep, they have plenty of supply, and already announced they would raise prices in anticipation of high demand
really sloppy social engineering going on. are they trying to distract us? because it isnt working...
nope
Get a Deuce and a half. The engines in those will run off anything from waste oil to jet fuel
I'm taking advantage....last minute vacationing to east coast beaches where reservations have opened up on the cheap!
I dunno guys, but I can tell you this, in New Bern NC I drove past 11 gas stations and only 1 had any gas. The line was horrendous.
Did I say 11, I meant 16.
What if there is a gas shortage so that people can’t leave their houses so there is less trouble or interference when EBS goes off?
The "hack", if you grant that it really happened, could not have affected actual pipeline operations. It might have impacted administrative, logistics or billing functions, but all of those could have been done offline if required.
The hack did happen. My husband was working in the control center when it happened. He saw the message on his computer. You are correct that it did not affect the actual pipeline. They shut it down out of caution. They paid the ransom but it has taken this long to get the other systems working offline. They started it back up last night and worked all day today staggering starting up the different lines. All are back up now.
Must collapse the old economy...pepe says so. ?
The gas shortage in my opinion is kabuki drummed up by DS. Yeah paying for ransomware, passing money from the left hand to the right hand. Big deal.
