Testing in Progress
Tennessee gas shortages are reminiscent of the 70's. Long lines, some spending hours waiting and driving around town looking for a pump with any gas at all. Some stations have a five gallon limit..
A real shortage or contrived with Tennessee as a test case to see how the masses will react in the event of shutdowns?
We've heard that some stations are refusing shipments that have a wholesale price of $4.50 or more a gallon. Authorities say relief is on the way.
Panic buying may have contributed or be the underlying cause??

Midstate Gas Stations Running On Empty
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Limited gas supply in some Middle Tennessee gas stations attracted long lines Friday..
Stations are running out of fuel. When drivers do find a station with a new shipment, they're packing into those stations in large numbers.
NewsChannel 5's news helicopter Sky 5 spotted several gas stations with long lines and traffic jams..
"I saw a BP that had some but there were cars lined in the streets so I kept going," said Mark Pearson, a driver. "I passed six or seven stations on my way but nothing.."
At stations where gas was available, lines stretched out to the streets. In some cases, police had to step in to clear out traffic problems caused by those long lines..
The Shell station on Charlotte Avenue near downtown Nashville had long lines for one grade of gasoline throughout the day. Also, at the Kroger in West Nashville on Charlotte Pike near White Bridge Road also had long lines as people packed the parking lot to ease near the pumps. The line wound through the supermarket's large parking lot..
Across town, at a Pilot station near the John C. Tune Airport on Centennial Boulevard and Briley Parkway also had lines that blocked traffic both ways..
Once drivers were lucky enough to get to a pump, they found some problems including overstressed pumps and credit card machines..
And with no one sure when the shortage will end, many people decided to fill up to stock up for the future..
"I left work to come here," said Ashley Barrow, adding that she waited for an hour..
There have been a few reports of small scuffles and fights breaking out. Many stations have security guards and employees controlling traffic to minimize the problems..

85% Of Gas Stations In Nashville, TN Are Without Gas Right Now
You know you've got a national infrastructure to be proud of when one of the country's largest cities is pretty much out of gas.From the Tennessean:
East Tennessee and Middle Tennessee both primarily receive fuel supplies through spurs of the Colonial pipeline, which carries refined gasoline from the Texas Gulf Coast to the Northeast. [Hurricane] Ike damaged and knocked out power to many of those refineries, cutting the amount of gasoline fed into the pipeline..
The shortage should be remedied by next week, the paper reports:
The state is scheduled to receive 1.42 million barrels of gasoline over the next week, roughly matching its typical demand of 1.44 million barrels, Heidt said..

Ex-oil chief warns of need for gas rationing

HANDS-ON: John Hofmeister, former Shell Oil Co president, says leaders need to make "courageous decisions" on energy

Mr Hofmeister suggested that the government impose limited gasoline rationing over the next four to six weeks, targeting regions where supplies will be reduced because hurricanes have shut down Gulf Coast refineries by temporarily cutting off their power

One of the oil industry's most influential voices called Monday for a temporary 1970s-style rationing of gasoline in parts of the United States to help avoid hurricane-related shortages and declared that the Bush administration, the Congress and the two men running for president have failed to exhibit the courage needed to solve America's longer-term energy problems
"We need to get a Congress that is willing to make some courageous decisions, and we need to have a president willing to make courageous decisions with respect to energy supply," former Shell Oil Co.President John Hofmeister told editors and reporters at The Washington Times
Mr.Hofmeister, who now serves as chairman of the National Urban League, also said that America's current economic crisis is disproportionately hurting middle- and lower-income families
"The economy is actually quite weak for middle- and low-income folks because of the drain on their disposable income" resulting from soaring energy, food and health care costs, he said."America is suffering a lot more than is being reported"
Mr.Hofmeister laid blame squarely on the country's political leaders, saying President Bush unnecessarily waited 7 1/2 years as gas prices soared to lift a presidential moratorium on offshore drilling and that Congress has made only token gestures to solve an energy crisis that requires significant action
As for the men seeking to succeed Mr. Bush, Mr.Hofmeister said he has talked with energy advisers to both Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain and hasn't heard a comprehensive solution
Both candidates, for example, oppose drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, although Mr.McCain recently reversed his opposition to most offshore drilling and has endorsed a massive expansion of nuclear power
"Both campaigns have good ideas," Mr. Hofmeister said. But "this whole energy set of issues needs a short-term, a medium-term and a long-term set of solutions.Neither campaign is looking at it holistically
"If you are running a corporation, you always have a short-, medium- and long-term strategy," he added. "If you are running U.S government, you tend to run it on political time, which is, 'What do we have to do in preparation for the next election?'"
Mr. Hofmeister recommended introducing an odd-even plan that he said successfully addressed short-term gasoline shortages during the energy crisis of the early 1970s. Drivers whose license plates ended in an odd number would be able to purchase gasoline on odd-numbered days.He also recommended limiting the amount of gasoline drivers can purchase
The United States will be in "a world of hurt" for the next four to six weeks as the oil industry recovers from the damage from Hurricanes Gustav and Ike, said Mr. Hofmeister. The areas where rationing will be needed include the Southeast and extend northward toward Denver, the upper Midwest and Washington, D.C., he said
Not everybody is on board with that idea
HANDS-ON: John Hofmeister, former Shell Oil Co. president, says leaders need to make "courageous decisions" on energy.(Barbara L Salisbury/The Washington Times)
"It's hard to support rationing," said Mary Novak, managing director of energy services at Global Insight. "We didn't ration after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.Until we are experiencing some extraordinary pricing, rationing should not be necessary"
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) also declined to endorse Mr.Hofmeister's rationing recommendation
"It's normal for prices to increase following periods of constraint - that's what happens when supply and demand are imbalanced," said DOE press secretary Healy Baumgardner."The Department of Energy is mitigating impacts to American families by working with the EPA to issue multi-state fuel waivers, releasing emergency exchanges from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and monitoring gas-price gouging"
Mr. Hofmeister also lashed out at the U.S.political system's failure to muster the courage to address the nuclear waste problem
He lamented the "fundamental problem in Congress," where he said it appeared to be more important to follow the rules of the Senate that permit two senators representing 2.5 million Nevadans to block the solution to the nuclear-waste storage problem at the expense of 300 million other Americans
Mr. Hofmeister decried the "lack of an energy policy in this country for most of the last 50 years," saying Americans became spoiled during the 1990s when energy prices hit "bargain-basement" levels, when oil sold for as little as $10 per barrel.He stood behind a statement he made in congressional testimony earlier this year as the price of oil headed toward $147 per barrel
"$65 is a pretty good price," he said
Mr.Hofmeister recently founded Citizens for Affordable Energy, which advocates increasing the supply of energy from all sources and making major investments in energy infrastructure
"We need a whole lot more energy to sustain the lifestyle we've chosen for ourselves," he said.
