There's a headline tag on FARK about gasoline futures being halted @ $2.35/gallon, which equates to $3 retail. There's no mention of this in the article it's linked, tho. Nor can I find any articles to substantiate this.

Futures trading is a far greater threat to our nation than terrorism is, in my opinion.

that Baton Rouge Exxon plant's one of a handful of super-refineries that'll pump out 500K barrels... hopefully it's back on track soon enough...

I've actually been contemplating that the past few months. It almost seems like some form of economic terrorism.

Be sure to catch a replay on FX of the made-for-TV movie "Oil Storm". It's about a hurricane hitting NO and taking out a bunch of oil rigs, then the effect on our economy, gas hitting $8.00/gal, etc.

They got it all wrong though. It wasn't supposed to hit until Labor Day weekend...

It's not very realistic to expect many hands to go up in 2005 US to place limitations and controls on markets as that would be the antithesis to prevailing economic and political sentiment.
