Repercussions for people outside New Orleans

Us Gasoline supply has been cut by a third. My point is let the people in
the US reduce their consumption by a third. Price stays down, no one else
gets f****d up. As has been said in the thread, this was a problem waiting
to happen, the politicians knew about it, the local authorities new about
it and business knew about it but they ignored it.

Right, but what you fail to realize is that this is a SELF-IMPOSED disaster,
by well-meaning Americans who thought that they were helping the world by
making it impossible for oil companies to build any new refineries.

The hurricane was inevitable; the consequences were not.

I suspect, given what you're saying, that you probably agreed with their
environmental approach. You probably cheered as, one by one, more and more
restrictive U.S. laws were passed, making it harder and harder for suppliers
to refine crude oil into gasoline. Until now.

Now that their short-sightedness is hurting everyone, badly -- worldwide --
maybe you'll realize just how much harm environmental extremists have done.
