The oil shortage is starting to hit the fan

Impending fuel shortage? Wrong. Try looming or actually present fuel shortage, at least if you’re flying into or out of an airport in the Southwest.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lost luggage, bad weather and now ... no fuel?

While fliers haven’t yet had to add that problem to the list of headaches associated with air travel, it may not be far away. Airports in Arizona, California, Florida and Nevada recently came within a few days — and at times within hours — of running out of jet fuel.”

Folks, the problems are already starting to pop up. Wanna get stranded at the airport Labor Day weekend?

Didn’t think so. But now is the time for people to start realizing that this is serious. The oil shit is starting to hit the fan, and all of us must ask ourselves what we are doing, and what more could we be doing, to conserve, conserve, conserve?
