Gas is expensive?


Saudi Arabia has an enormous oil refinery called Abqaiq. The interesting thing about Abqaiq is that the facility refines about 7.5 million barrels of crude each and every day. If something were to happen to that facility US gas prices would shoot through the roof. My understanding is that people who are interested in hurting the US may well see this as a place to attack. In late February the most recent attack on the facility was stopped. While we're all busy hoping that this won't happen, it may be worth considering doing something ethanol based. However, it may not be worth it.
