Oil/Gas Refinery Smoking Gun FOUND!!

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

This Senator Strom Thurmond Sub Committee Hearing was held in 10/98

---snip---

Comment to Dr. Hamre by Sen. Thurmond: I understand that the commercial fuel industry is facing a Y2K challenge in their refinery operations. Some reports state that only 30% of their refineries will be renovated by January 1, 2000.

Question to Dr. Hamre by Sen. Thurmond: Has the Department looked at the potential impact on it's operations if 70% of the U.S refinery operations are shut down?

Question to Dr. Hamre by Sen. Thurmond: How long will the Department's supply of fuel last if deliveries are suspended?

I just received this email from a friend in Europe this morning:

Dear friends,

Moldovans consider March 1st to be the first day of the spring. It is good to see the signs of revival in the nature and I think our people can find in God's creation more hope and comfort than in our government. As many of you probably heard, since last Friday (Feb. 25) Moldova is not receiving any natural gas from Russia. For the last few days the country was using up the gas that was left in the pipeline and this morning it all ran out. Since most people cook their food on gas stoves, you can imagine how difficult it is now to meet the most basic human needs. Also, the mayor announced that the city can no longer afford to provide heating in the apartments. We are fortunate that we still have electricity. Tomorrow the government will come to the Parliament to give a report on what they are doing in order to solve this critical situation. Our hope and prayers are that Moldovan people will start receiving gas as soon as possible. On the other hand there is still a conflict between the powers in Moldova. The Parliament dos not have and is not likely to form a governing majority. That means that the government does not have political support, which will make it very difficult to pass the budget.

I would like you ask you to keep us in your prayers. Please, pray for the government, that they could make the necessary agreements with Russia concerning natural gas. Also, pray for the Members of Parliament, that they would find consensus in the midst of party differences. Pray for our people who have lost all hope that things will ever improve.

Yours in Christ,

Valeriu Ghiletchi, M.P.

That must be why there was 20 plus refineries close in January alone.
