If a couple of offshore oil platforms in the Gulf are off line causes a gas shortage, the United States is in big trouble. Think about it. It is NOT true.
Do you think those couple of rigs in the Gulf that are down is going to affect what we export and import every day? No.

Will they tell these countries we export to...sorry gas shortage due to storm we won't be sending you oil today, and we will have to charge you more? No.
But they think the citizens of the US are stupid so they will charge them more and create a panic of a gas shortage. :(
