In Charlotte, shipments of gas are supposed to start arriving today.
You may start breathing again. Armageddon is not yet here.  |
I knew why...that is what I said, because of weather. That fact that the Atlanta area requires cleaner burning gas than some areas adds to the shortage. Apparently it takes longer to produce because of the higher emmissions standards. So couple Ike with the longer processing time means shortages for us. We could have gotten the regular gas much sooner and probably would not have quite as bad of a shortage that we do right now.
