Gas shortages could be coming to America…and quickly.
An unexpected fuel crisis has hit Canada. According to a Canadian blogger and author, not one, but two, fuel tankers were inexplicably delayed last week, and shortages ensued alarmingly quickly, with numerous gas stations running completely out of fuel within a matter of days. Marie Beausoleil wrote:
The delay was long enough that gas stations across Nova Scotia ran out of gas, even with a week of rationing. The gas stations knew the tankers were going to be late and starting rationing in advance.
By Thursday, storage tanks in the city of Dartmouth were empty.
The tankers arrived on Friday and started the process of unloading.
By Saturday the shortage had spread to the smaller communities, the less busy gas stations.
By Sunday evening, motorists across the province were stranded and “Out of gas” signs were everywhere. It would take, people were warned, at least a week to get all service stations filled across the province (and if you’re not familiar with it, Nova Scotia is a very small place!)

If you couple a potential fuel shortage with the dramatic instability of the US stock market, it sure doesn’t paint a sunny forecast for the American economy.
A major fuel shortage could send epic economic shockwaves across the country, since our economy is based on cheap oil.
It all boils down to this: the transportation system.
Lots of people like to shake their heads and say, “Oh, this won’t hurt me at all.” That’s pretty shortsighted, because a fuel shortage will affect EVERYONE. CDL Life News recently published this alarming infographic.
Many people are watching the “news” and feeling much better about our economic situation as the talking heads espouse platitudes, but it’s important to note that the government doesn’t want a panic. A central banking economist has flat out recommended that the general public be lied to about the depth of the global economic crisis, saying that “banking supervisors should withhold some information when they publish stress test results to prevent both bank runs and excessive risk taking by lenders.”
Unless you are collecting your own information and watching the markets, the price and availability of oil, and the fate of the American dollar, you run an extremely high risk of being deceived with warm and encouraging platitudes.
Prepping for fuel shortages

Learn everything you need to know about general preparedness in this compendium that must be on every serious prepper’s bookshelf. Take the following 7 steps to preempt the crisis before it occurs.
Our entire economy is based on fuel.
If the transportation system grinds to a halt, so too will our economy. The trucks, boats, and planes that carry our goods won’t be going anywhere without fuel to get the items to the consumers.
Gas shortages are a very big deal. Are you prepared for a local economy? What steps do you recommend to help others get ready?
