By the way, I heard an estimate the other day that up to 15% of the US oil refining capacity is down, thanks to refinery closures and damages in Mississippi and Louisiana. So if gas prices hit $3 nationally, don't be surprised. It's not because of the price of oil - it's the price of turning oil into gasoline. Additionally, though I haven't heard any reports of this, there are hundreds of thousands of oil and natural gas pipelines off the Louisiana coast, and they are often damaged by strong storm surges. There's 2 reasons nobody goes to the beach in Lousiana - 1) no waves (you can walk out a mile before your head goes below water), and 2) black sand.
I wonder how smart it is to have 15% of one of our most important energy industries crowded into a place that is almost guaranteed to be hit by a storm four months out of the year.
