The next few weeks are going to be a GOOD example of what living through Peak Oil will be like. Supply disruptions of several days, weeks, or a couple months will result from things that never used to cause problems.

Take note of what happens. It will become much more normal over the next 10 years, I expect.

At first it will be short-term supply disruptions due to "the little things" that never used to result in supply problems. Storms and terrorism will have a large effect on oil production because demand will almost be equal with production - there is no room for error. Eventually the disruptions will be caused by a plain lack of supply. By that point we will be post-peak, probably 5-10 years.

I remember when premium gas was 99 cents a gallon at this place near my house, maybe.. 3 years ago.

Earlier today the EPA announced that they were going to waive some of the restrictions on diesel and gasoline, letting the oil companies sell dirty fuel. At first it was just for the affected area, but in Bush's speech this afternoon he said it was now for the whole country.

Why conserve...when you can damage the environment instead? :smirk:

You obviously live in a hole/cave/box. There are refineries down there that are UNDER WATER that give us 10% of our oil.

You get your oil from different parts of the world. Most (if not all) of your gasoline is refined in the USA.

Apparently a good deal of that oil from other countries was shipped to the New Orleans port (there's actually an offshore oil terminal called LOOP). All that has been shut down by the hurricane, so no oil is being offloaded at NO. That wouldn't be too much of a problem because Bush just released oil from the reserve to cover it.

The thing that is a problem is that 8-10 refineries have been shut down by the hurricane. There's enough oil sitting around, but not enough refining capacity - so less gasoline.

I heard BBC is reporting 20 rigs in the Gulf are "missing", probably means they're on the bottom. Something like 90% of the rigs in the Gulf were shut down due to the storm, and not all of them have even started to come back online yet. Many could take months to be repaired.

It's a messy situation, to say the least.

Did anyone see that made-for-TV movie a few months back, "Oil Storm"??

I heard this is eerily similar to what happens in the movie: a hurricane shuts down Gulf production/refining and then the Saudi's have a revolution and stop selling to the US.

There are gas stations in my town that are out of gas.I think the people around here will go into a frenzy if there is a huge shortage.

Anywhere you go you see people in huge suv's with gas cans filling up everything that they have.

CNN Money says gas will hit $4.00 average in the next month, and stay at that price for about hlf a year.

I just checked the prices at the gas station up the street - $3.36 for 91 octane
That up from $2.65.. three days ago.

Someone may have mentioned this already. I've been on top of the Katrina coverage and today the U.S. Coast guard went out to check the status of the oil rigs in the gulf. I don't know how many we regularly had but they said 20 of them were off and afloat or sunk. Some they showed knocked loose and leaking oil.

Then they panned the port where the refinery is and it was demolished.

So there is some truth to the problems Katrina caused with our ability to produce oil and gas from the gulf right now.

I don't know if that justifies price hikes or how much of one if it does. We're up to about 3 dollars a gallon now in Tampa, Fl.

What a mess! :tongue:

I never did get my license :smirk:

I need to remember to pick up a couple spare tires, though. Just in case...
