Our lack of adequate supply and storage facilities is a disgrace. A couple of weeks worth of juice at any given time. Let’s see how far that stretches in the event of a war. And remember, we are America’s puppet so the risk of us being dragged into a major war in this region would see us without enough fuel of our own. Since Scomo is spending hundreds of billions and putting us in debt to the tune of a trillion dollars he may as well spend a few billion more on fuel storage. Muppets.
