Back in the 70s when we had the “oil shortage” I had a friend who worked for BATX (I think it was called), company that owned a lot of tank cars and storage facilities and such. He told me they had zero capacity to store or move any more oil or refined products as all their tanks and tank cars

Why, when we’re allegedly the world’s largest producer now? At least that what they were saying in the media this weekend when discussing the Pootie/Saudi spat. I knew we were up there, but I didn’t think we had surpassed the output of the Saudis. -D > On Mar 11, 2020, at 11:52 AM, Curley
