Its Gotten So Bad That Gas Tankers Have Begun Wandering The Caribbean In Search Of Delivery Ports

A few gasoline cargoes around the Caribbean Isles are looking for homes.

Three tankers holding about 1.35 million barrels of gasoline and alkylate, an octane-boosting component blended with motor fuels, are drifting with no instructions for delivery. The cargoes came from India with intent to land in the U.S., but now they’re in limbo as traders from Trafigura Group Ltd. and Mercuria Energy Group Ltd. shop around for the best selling value in the region.

This is all Matt's Fault. He has not been driving his new Ford Powered TVR enough (Maybe not at all) - to use up the extra supplies of gasoline that were set aside for him. AS a result - thousands of jobs are hanging in the Balance - and the economy of the world is starting to tank. Never thought 1 man could be that responsible!

You didn't count his filthy mouth.

Once he speaks, air quality index (AQI) in Bakersfield would jump by a hundred points. But Bakersfield already ranks # 1 as city with worst air pollution so it doesn't matter that much.

Well BobM - your are forgetting that Man has been on the earth for about 120,000 years - while Dinosaurs were here on the earth for Hundreds of Millions of years. Not only were there lots of Dinosaurs - but many of them were pretty BIG too. And there they are - polluting the soil in the ground - by becoming crude. Now - it is up to US to do our best to get that pollution out of the ground before it causes problems to the earth!
