Why would Bush want to drill oil in Alaska while China is trying to take over our oil companies esp when they want to buy Chevron.

Right. Same thing happened after hurricane Hugo hit Charleston in '89. We couldn't get gas at any of the stations because the pumps require electric power.diehardbiker65 said:Just re-read your message, and I doubt they have ran out of gas. It is more like, they can't pump out of gas! No electricity means pump is dead.
It happened up here, if you recall the great northeastern black-out? ALmost all gas station couldn't pump gas, even there is plenty of gas in tank, only handful of them got generator to back it up.
