Drivers hoping for sub-$3.50 gasoline should be wary of Ike. Hurricane Ike has Doxycycline overnight no consult a minimum pressure capable of spurring Category 4 strength at ~950 mb, but the storm’s disorganization is Doxycycline overnight no consult spreading that energy across a larger area rather than focusing it Doxycycline overnight no consult on tremendous winds around the eye. So the cyclone is Doxycycline overnight no consult the size of Katrina (hurricane winds up to Doxycycline overnight no consult 115 miles away from the eye and tropical storm winds up to Doxycycline overnight no consult 275 miles!), but it’s much weaker.
It is still a serious threat to our petroleum system. Not only is it preventing the Gulf’s oil and Doxycycline overnight no consult gas rigs from getting back online post-Gustav, but it is Doxycycline overnight no consult also forecast to hit the refining heartland of our country. So, the Doxycycline overnight no consult products we consume (including gasoline, diesel and propane) may be Doxycycline overnight no consult in much shorter supply next week. If inventories were full, this Doxycycline overnight no consult wouldn’t be Doxycycline overnight no consult a big issue, but gasoline and propane are already at extremely low levels compared to Doxycycline overnight no consult the last five years.
For natural gas, the weekly inventory report showed how resilient US production of natural gas has Doxycycline overnight no consult become in 2008. Even with an outage of 42 billion cubic feet (bcf) from Doxycycline overnight no consult Hurricane Gustav last week, storage levels rose 58 bcf or just 20 bcf below average for Doxycycline overnight no consult the week. Unless Hurricane Ike strengthens dramatically (which is completely possible over the next 36 hours) and Doxycycline overnight no consult takes out quite a few natural gas rigs, our natural gas market appears to Doxycycline overnight no consult be well supplied for the upcoming winter. Again, since natural gas burns cleaner than Doxycycline overnight no consult oil and coal, I find this development a welcome one for Doxycycline overnight no consult the climate.
I will give a Doxycycline overnight no consult full update on Ike tomorrow as it approaches the refining center of our country. If our vehicles were solar- and Doxycycline overnight no consult wind-powered, our whole country would not have to worry so much about the Doxycycline overnight no consult energy impact of a Gulf storm…
Time for a sustainable energy transition-
