The oil changes artificially mark up the price then when people get mad they drop the price but it's still nets towards more expensive. Thai crisis feels the same, make the populous desperate and angry then give in and give them what they want but the prices will stay high. It can't be for another reason because for the last few decades in the US there have been protests against gas companies for not only their environment destroying practices but also their insane prices. It's just a way to make people angry, therefore irrational, therefore make people spend more money. I feel that these gas prices for the last few decades are a form of polling.

So don't blame them but the green peace people that forced the draconian rules on us.

The extension they received to get in compliance makes sense if you look at it that way. Either way, I finally found some gas and tanked up this morning, but felt it in the wallet. Someone is making some big bucks off of this mini-crisis.

If this can happen to a gas line it could happen to the electrical grid. Please Florida Light and Power be prepared.

Who dropped the ball, here? If the terminal company was a utility, the government officials would have been quick to discipline and explain the situation to the EPA before the shutdown. I believe the Florida Department of Agriculture is the watchdog, here? If so, they bear a big part of the blame for letting the private company default, triggering the EPA order to shutdown. Maybe there is another culprit out there. There is a complete lack of transparency here that has affected the lives of the entire community. I recall what happened in Texas during the big freeze. Where are the watchdogs? Who is sleeping at the switch? Must get to the bottom of it. If it happens again, it will totally undermine the little remaining trust people have in the regulatory agencies. And chaos will reign. Like the hoarding the hoarding and panic that has already ensued.
