Go figure. And just as gas prices were "plunging due to unexpected US surpluses"...........

1. Is this the explosion yesterday in Tx?
That was my first thought since they have one of the highest production capacities, but then I read that they have had several explosions in the past...one just last year. If it can be repaired within 30 days, it's not a problem.

3. Keep in mind this place only provided 3% of the US supply

People on the Gulf area of Texas have said prices already are rising. This is such BS!

Having said that, it makes me mad that 15 people are now dead, 100 were treated in the hospital and it's exploited for profit. :grr:

4. They ALWAYS create, err, have these problems...
right as supply is going up and the price is about to go down! Why is that? Sigh, so more people die to keep the price of gas high.
