A criminal gang of hackers caused one of America’s largest oil and gas pipelines to shut down for days, and even though the pipeline is operational again, it will take days for gas stations in the affected area to resupply.
As I wrote yesterday, the gas shortages could have been avoided if people just remained calm and only purchased what they needed, when they needed it, but here we are. At least where I live in Northern Virginia, almost every gas station in the area is closed because they ran out of gas. The only two gas stations that were open a couple days ago had massive lines in all directions. At the time of this writing, a gas station in Richmond is charging $6.99 a gallon.
