we win

[roguevalley]

my sister was told from an oil field person that our gas will hit $6.00 a gallon shortly because the refining process broke a part of the machinery and we are going to be royally screwed.

We drill it out, make it here and get knifed anyway. It was $4.75 yesterday. Right now, its $4.95.

I almost can't wait to see tomorrow.

We win. Take that, lower 48. Our bastards are bigger than yours.

1. Bunch of our refinery shit is offline in Seattle too.

Our price is not doing what the national prices are doing, that's for sure.

2. In Seattle, we're being told high prices are because

of the refinery fire in Anacortes earlier this year. Turns out that refinery was scheduled to be shut down for maintenance in May anyway.

3. But don't people in AK get an oil dividend check from the state for oil that's produced there?

I would consider that a wash.

Shoot, gas is already at $4.95 in many parts of the lower 48.

4. we share in the oil taxes we collect as any state should do with the

resources that belong to their people but they don't because they are bastards.

If you understood how many of our people live in the stone age and how much it costs here you wouldn't bother with that. We deserve our share. Considering it costs $2400 a month for nine months in the Bush to heat their homes, 1400$ tops is a drop in the ocean.

5. Sounds like your sister's friend

has an intricate knowledge of the oil industry and how the refining process broke a part.

7. I am unsure of your post. suffice it to say, the

people who work there talk to her because she has an oil field support business. My brother is an operator on an offshore rig and both nephews work for the company. Yes, we are pretty sure.

9. Wonder which part that is?

6. Good. Hope it goes higher.

Maybe we will stop destroying mother earth by burning fossil fuels.

8. agreed but its terrible in the west without

transport and such. We need to do things way different.
