How about 40 guys each hitting two refineries on the same day with grenade launchers putting three HE rounds and three WP rounds to start a massive fire at each refinery.
If you hit the top 80 refineries, you would knock out about 85% of the total US capacity. Most would be off line for days or weeks. Now imagine what this will do to the cost of gasoline, diesel and chemical feed stocks. Now, do it just before winter when demand goes up.
Are there 80 refineries operating in this country? I don’t think so. Therefore, fewer men could do the same job.
You are then worried about the cost of gasoline? How much does NO GASOLINE AVAILABLE cost?
Days or weeks to get a refinery back on line? Think months and years depending on the damage. If there is no fuel how will they get the necessary parts and equipment to get back on line?
The real damage would be done by our government, the Obama Administration, during the outage. They would seize control and never give it back. We must remember they are the enemy!
However, they are doing so well in gaining and keeping control without a catastrophe we may be spared one.
It’s even easier if you breach and radiologically contaminate the oil pipelines near where they cross the Mississippi river in Louisiana. Oh, and breach the dike to make it that much harder. 80% of the eastern US would be without fuel in 5 days.
