Parts of US to see UK style petrol crisis

At least over here the shortage of petrol (even to the emergency services) in summer 2000 was a man made event. With perhaps more than half of America’s oil capacity simply shut down by just one, and it is just one, horendous Atlantic storm, could parts of America feel what we felt in 2000?

Long petrol lines, food deliveries being hampered, emergency services dipping into reserves, prices at gigantic inflation levels due to demand … It could be a wake up call on the theme of addiction to the sauce. Not just drivers, I can’t stress enough, if you buy food from a supermarket you are addited to oil. That food, did it come from local sources or was it flown, ferried and driven half way across the world? If flown in then air fuel is ridiculously expensive right now.
