How serious is this gas shortage? [View All]

[kentuck]

Supposedly the problems in AZ were due to a ruptured pipeline? I did not realize they were so dependent on a pipeline. In Colorado, they usually bring the gas to the stations in tanker trucks...But, prices have gone up here also. Premium gas was about $1.82 yesterday. And from what I have read, prices have gone up almost everywhere?

Rather than an electricity blackout, is our next energy problem going to be a shortage in petroleum products? Will the shortages still be hitting the consumers when winter arrives? Where is the oil from Iraq that was going to keep our gas prices down? Any ideas?
