Who knew BP stood for Broken Pipes? Gas prices to skyrocket
Today BP is shutting down its oil pipes that are used to carry crude from Alaska to mainland United States. Apparently the pipelines sprung a leak and upon further inspection, a large segment of them are corroded. So BP i closing down 16 miles of broken pipes. It will take weeks to repair.
Since those pipes are the biggest source of domestic crude, oil futures spiked earlier today. What does this mean? Higher prices at the pump for all of us in the near future. Oil is already having a detrimental effect on our economy, this surely will not help. Actually BP stands to make even more money from this, since cutting fuel supply increases their profits. (Market forces at work – see “how gas prices work“) Hmmm, I wonder why they weren’t keeping a closer eye on their rusting pipes.
Better sell your H2 or figure out some ways to get some free gas or discounted gas.
