Its only a fraction of their total capacity, but Colonial is getting their pipeline up and running... Even the % of capacity they are talking about for this weekend will be insufficient if they don't get up near 100% quickly, but its a start.

This is probably the best news I have heard all day. After reading all the "breakdown of society when we pay $3.00+/gal for gas" threads all day, I am glad to see that some progress is being made to correct this gas spike. Keep the pipeline news coming.

Is this the same as the Shell Capline? Because that's operating at a fraction of capacity.

This is an important development for Atlanta and the East Coast.

Yep. As I said on another thread (the Atlanta gas price thread), Colonial and Plantation are HIGHLY motivated to restart the pipeline, 'cause if they don't they won't get paid!

Fortunately, some of the "experts" are truly experts and got to work instead of posting criticism of industries in which they have little or no experience.
I include myself in this criticism, so save the flames.

This is extremely good news. More important than many would expect.
Seems as if this is the first piece of good news, the first baby steps toward "rebuilding".
We needed this...

Oil pipelines and refineries don't stop for hurricanes or civil war or anything.
There is too much money on the table for anything other than shortest possible delays possible.
Saudi oil production today is 12 million barrels per day times $70 per barrel which equals $840 million per day. Nothing, not even a muslim cleric or an OBL, would stop that kind of revenue for even a few hours.
US, New Orleans-based oil companies face the same logic.

Some folks seem to be doing a pretty good job of shutting down the pipelines in Iraq.

Can we now stop with all of the crap about a gas shortage?

Those bombed pipelines in Iraq are up and running in a few hours. The terrorists that bomb them are a little dumb however.
