NaturalNews: Gas price hikes in Calif remind us all about fragile supply lines, need for preparedness‏

Dear Lisbon Reporter and NaturalNews readers,

Gas prices have skyrocketed in California, and it's all due to an electrical failure at a single oil refinery.

Just how fragile is our energy supply, anyway?

For Californians, it's actually worse than just a fragile energy supply: The entire Los Angeles area depends on an artificial supply of water pumped over the mountains and powered by fossil fuels.

What happens if the pumps fail like the fuel refinery just failed?
