A sign reading "Out of Fuel" is taped to the window at an Exxon Gas Station on Boonsboro Road in Lynchburg, Va., Tuesday, May 11, 2021. More than 1,000 gas stations in the Southeast reported running out of fuel, primarily because of what analysts say is unwarranted panic-buying among drivers, as the shutdown of a major pipeline by hackers entered its fifth day. In response, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam declared a state of emergency.
The pipeline runs from the Gulf Coast to the New York metropolitan region, but states in the Southeast are more reliant on it. Other parts of the country have more sources to tap. For example, a substantial amount of fuel is delivered to states in the Northeast by massive tankers. North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper urged people Wednesday to only buy gas if their tank is low, and to report any instances of price gouging.
“If I don’t have the gas, I’m not running,” said Ron Brown of Ellijay, Georgia, who operates Ron’s Appalachian Trail Shuttles and often takes hikers on hourslong trips from Atlanta’s airport into the north Georgia mountains, and to and from many points along the trail.
As long as only backwoods red state hillbillies are affected, I don't care.
Quite convenient that Russia was able to Target a pipeline based in just Republican states.
Related pipeline stocks are soaring, oil prices soaring... Where's the downside?
These are the vulnerable people Trump brainwashes. U live in United states panicking about gas. Just slow asf
Colonial Pipeline says it will take several days for deliveries to return to normal after the nation's largest fuel pipeline restarted operations. A gang of hackers forced the pipeline to shut down, which spurred panic buying.
