Oh those speculators Oil in Free Fall as Economic Worries Spur Selling Oil prices were in free fall Friday as worries about a weakening global economy combine with seemingly ample supplies and less fear of a confrontation with Iran....SNIPPED http://www.cnbc.com/id/47295638 |

Gas Prices are on the rise in California. A week ago they had dropped down to $4.00 a gallon at Costco. Now it is $4.15 a gallon. This despite failing crude prices. |

Down to $3.45 here. I think I just located a local place with ethanol free gasoline, too. |

Reads like IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven is telling us what to expect from Barry's plans! |

Hay, let's give credit to Obama for his secret plan to drop crude oil prices. A world-wide recession! West Texas Crude $83.22 |

Well, the markets are dropping, so I'm amazed Barry hasn't noted the good news that the price of gas follows when demand drops! |

Shell expands LNG option for 18-wheelers http://www.chron.com/business/article/Shell-expands-LNG-option-for-18-wheelers-3617908.php The nation's slow roll toward cheap natural gas fuel for commercial fleets took another step Thursday as Shell Oil Co. said it's gearing up to supply liquefied natural gas to 100 interstate highway fueling stations across the nation beginning in 2013. Under the tentative terms of the agreement, Shell will construct more than 200 LNG lanes for fueling heavy-duty trucks at TravelCenters of America stations and Petro Stopping Centers across the country. Locations for the LNG pumps will be selected based on the needs of cross-country commercial trucking customers, according to a statement from TravelCenters, a full-service truck stop chain with 165 locations nationwide. It owns Petro Stopping Centers. Natural gas proponents have pushed for greater use of the fuel for transportation. Supporters say the fuel is a way to relieve the glut of domestically produced natural gas on the market. The oversupply has driven down the cost of natural gas fuels, compared to crude-based gasoline and diesel. -snip- |

Why didn't we spend stimulus money on LNG? Pelosi: Natural Gas an "Alternative to Fossil Fuels" 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8At2Lch-m5c Because the Speaker of the House was a real idiot who didn't know LNG is a fossil fuel. When she was corrected it was down with LNG. She, Obama, and Biden-it are owned by the Greenies & the Global Green Scam Klan. That is the only reason. Profit, Power, & Green Greed. |

Bad News for Californians - One of the largest refineries n California Fire at Chevron refinery in Richmond (08-06) 22:25 PDT RICHMOND -- Thousands of East Bay residents were ordered to stay in their homes with the windows and doors closed Monday night after a series of explosions and fires tore through Chevron's Richmond refinery. The explosions started about 6:15 p.m. and at least two large fires spewed thick, black smoke into the darkening sky. The fire started at the refinery's No. 4 Crude Unit, Chevron officials said. Just before 6:30 p.m., an inspection crew discovered that there was a diesel leak in a line in the unit - and that the leak was growing. Shortly after the crew evacuated the area, the diesel ignited, said Nigel Hearne, manager of the refinery. All employees had been accounted for and there were no fatalities, but one refinery worker suffered burns to his wrist and was treated at the on-site clinic. http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Fire-at-Chevron-refinery-in-Richmond-3767221.php |

Chevron refinery fire may raise gas prices A fire at Chevron Corp.'s Richmond oil refinery may push gasoline prices higher today as it disrupts fuel output at the state's third-largest crude-processing plant. Chevron's 240,000-barrel-a-day refinery shut its No. 4 crude unit after the fire Monday, Heather Kulp, a Chevron spokeswoman, said Tuesday. The fire is out, she said, and the plant is maintaining a small controlled burn at the crude unit to relieve pressure. Other units are operating at unknown levels, Kulp said. "We don't know how long the crude unit will be down, and they may have had to shut other refining units as well," said Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates LLC in Houston. "I expect that if several units shut, gasoline prices will spike at least 10 cents today" in California, he said. California-blend gasoline, or Carbob, in San Francisco gained 1.5 cents to 5.5 cents a gallon above futures traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange Monday, data compiled by Bloomberg show. It rose as high as 14.75 cents on Aug. 2 from a discount of 12 cents on July 18. Carbob spot prices Tuesday may be 24 cents higher than yesterday and diesel may jump 4 cents, said Bob van der Valk, a petroleum industry analyst in Terry, Mont. He said BP Plc's Cherry Point refinery in Washington took four months to reach full operation after a fire in February. "These increases will be passed along to retail pumps at California and gas stations as far north as Seattle," he said. http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Chevron-refinery-fire-may-raise-gas-prices-3769112.php But they didn't built them so no need to worry, just ask Commissar Obama |
