Marathon Petroleum Corp.’s oil refinery near New Orleans exploded into flames on Monday, threatening to crimp fuel supplies and raise pump prices at a time of already rampant inflation.

The company’s Garyville, Louisiana, plant is one of the nation’s largest and a key supplier of gasoline, diesel and other fuels. Marathon said one person was injured and the blaze that started around 9:30 a.m. local time is now under control.

The fire occurred in a hydrocracker, according to a person familiar with the operation, a crucial price of equipment that breaks heavy petroleum molecules down into lighter products including gasoline. If any damages are significant enough to halt production at the Garyville complex, regional fuel supplies may be stretched.

Gasoline demand has been on the rise at a time when more than 10% of Gulf Coast refining capacity already is idle for repairs and other maintenance work.

Retail gasoline prices have climbed 7.5% this year, adding to 2021’s 46% advance, according to AAA. The last time prices were this high was the summer of 2014, when international oil prices were above $100 a barrel.

This was deliberate. This is not an accident. This is absolute sabotage and it’s being done because they are going to crush any and all dissent. So there won’t be a trucker’s Strike here in the US, or a Freedom Convoy.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

“I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs

Tried to fill up my truck at the gas station today, but couldn't -- because the pump cut off at $75.00.

I don't doubt it, but crazy things do happen in freezing/near freezing temps.
