I think that people will be shocked by how quickly those refineries are going to be back up and running. Every minute they are shut down costs their owners millions of dollars. Free enterprise will take care of this.

Free enterprise isn't able to overcome the obstacles before the engineers on this one.

This may take a while to repair.

Hitler refineries made gas almost before the bombs smoke had cleared.

Over half a century later, riggers have only improved such skills with better knowledge & high tech equipment.

This is all BS to support the gouge-fest, party on.
