SARS Pt. 2 - Wuhan Boogaloo

[Speaker to Animals]

About 1.79 here.

We have pretty fucking awful gas taxes, though.

Pah, it's still around £6 a gallon here. You have no idea what high gas taxes are.
However, Gaia approves.

You really don't need vehicles that much in most of the UK (or, at least, most Britons don't need to to drive as much compared to Americans). There is no way we could pay that much for gas here without major economic turmoil. We could probably gradually get there over many years, but it would have to be really slow and we'd have to adapt society to it.

Once they run out of storage for all the unused oil and refined products will they have to stop pumping it out of the ground?

No, at minimum oil is needed for shipping and war, so it's not going away, the MICC will prop it up for NATSEC

But if supply is vastly outstripping demand sooner or later they will run out of storage. At that point what option do they have apart from stop extracting it?

They just dump the excess oil to free up space, drilling oil is a strategic military imperative, waste is no matter

Tax on diesel or petrol is 58p per litre or £2.60 a gallon. That's $3.25 at today's exchange rate.

What!
Where do they dump it?

[Smitty-48]

So far the COVID cases in our county have slowed since we've locked down

64 cases confirmed in the county, all in four healthcare facilities

No actual signs of community spread here yet

They burn it

They crank the flares up and burn the excess

[Smitty-48]

Like I say, Fuck Alberta

First World Shit Hole

The hills are barren & dirty brown

The air smells like burning oil

And the winter is frightful

[Montegriffo]

What!

They burn it

They crank the flares up and burn the excess

Fucking hooligans.
Is there some reason they can't just stop pumping it until demand recovers?

[Smitty-48]

What!
Where do they dump it?

They burn it

They crank the flares up and burn the excess

Fucking hooligans.
Is there some reason they can't just stop pumping it until demand recovers?

They crank it right down to minimum, but they can't stop the well completely,

so they crank the flare up and burn the excess

Asheville does not seem to be in exponential growth right now either. Thank fuck for the TDS of the liberals. When Trump was talking shit about how this is like the flu and it will magically go away by April, they decided it must be completely fucking lethal and started preparing. The county was locked down before the rest of the state.
