[DrunkenMaster16]

entire refinery down...

Time to bring in the Defense force to continue operations. If I have to drive to POS today to do work on 1/2 tank then come back to La Brea to do more work this evening on the same 1/2 tank these over paid OWTU members better not expect to be served food, buy groceries, or have electricity. Cause we all on strike too! Not to mention doh get sick cause the hospital on strike too...

Its time that citizens show these people that its not only them who can shut down the country.




(DM16 proposes a nation wide shut down on the 7th of September, I want another four day week.)

It not dat simple dan. For one if the people who providing you with gas no there will be a shortage before you do you eh think they will stock up on supplies before you can take away your service?

Two: Powergen uses natural gas not gasoline or any other petroleum product from the refinery sooo electricity fuh so

Three: and this chee is d biggest. Defense force can't continue operations if the operations down. And trust me they down. I have never seen the entire refinery shut down like this before.

[DrunkenMaster16]

Come nah man I just want another 4 day week...

[InsanityReigns]

Down since Saturday night

[tr1ad]

entire refinery down...

because they have a shutdown for upgrade / replacement purposes

[Rudman]

^Nah boi, the refinery really, really down. The last time I saw it this quiet was when the flood hit the Harmony Hall sub station in 2010 and things were down for 2 days.

Central Steam Plant is down. No steam, nothing runs. Before this weekend, plants like 2HTU, ISOM and the CCR were still running. All units are down now. If the Army intervenes, all they could do is pump whatever the bond has now.

[tr1ad]

ah know it down bai....

dev getting more grey hair

[nervewrecker]

I saw a man walk out with 2 bucket of steam and a long weight....ok, ok...I gone.

[tr1ad]

yes please do

[RBphoto]

Ogoarman... if everything down... tha means that we have to wait at least three days for them to START production, much less fill the tanks... so a week before any new gasolene supply (Guessing here) even if issues resolved?

[vickyexp]

Went looking for Diesel in POS just a while ago,
Peake's has none but there's gas (premium & super) & no lines,
Got diesel at NP Station corner Tragarete & Maraval Rds, again no lines

You should be nicer to those who ride your broom and get it sh!tty, especially if they have to resurect it from a graveyard.... wait... did I read that right?

[Country_Bookie]

So are long lines at gas stations confined to South or is it happening up North as well?

[tr1ad]

so still have problems with long lines at the gas stations?

[Trini Hookah]

Not even a line at Medford either :/

[UML]

Is a management decision like the bunkering agreement the business of the trade union?

Also, christmas around the corner expect the port workers to shutdown the port

[stev]

heard on the 7pm news (TBC network radio news) that Powergen is down and the contingency plans are crap.

[sMASH]

hmmn, well i still have current...

Most likely Petrotrin would have bought foreign produced gasolene because of their ongoing upgrade work or whatnot. They do this more often than for the past few years due to the upgrades going on on gasolene producing plants, T&I/shutdowns on others etc. Most people don't realise they are not using locally made gasolene, or so my cousin (who works there) tells me.

If so, then they won't have to wait for a plant restart to move gasolene out of the bond, assuming that:

1) They haven't depleted said reserves (highly unlikely - they didn't deplete them during the last strike, which was worse IMHO).

2) They have people to move the gas out (army?).


I guess Roget was feeling outpaced by W.Duke (with the latter's recent bouts in the papers and news), and wanted some spotlight/emo time too - hence the epic beatup by Roget.

Someone once said years ago we don't produce gas here,it comes from vene.

[Chimera]
