Gas Panic of 2021

Some of you may have noticed that gasoline is in short supply at gas stations. This is due to a [Ransomware cyberattack] on Colonial Pipeline that resulted in operations being temporarily shut down. Full operations have been restored and the resulting hiccup in the supply chain should be resolved by this weekend. Panic and overconsumption will just extend the shortage (remember when people rushed the stores last year because they were scared that the supply of toilet paper would run out? They created the very thing they were fearing.) Instead of topping off your fuel tanks, just get gasoline when you normally do.

Governor Issues State of Emergency Allowing for Fuel Transportation Waivers After Colonial Pipeline Ransomware Cyber-Attack

In response to the temporary shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline, Governor Roy Cooper today signed an Executive Order declaring a state of emergency in North Carolina and temporarily suspending motor vehicle fuel regulations to ensure adequate fuel supply supplies throughout the state. On May 7, 2021, the Colonial Pipeline system reported a ransomware cyber-attack, resulting in a temporary shutdown of that line. The Colonial Pipeline is a primary fuel pipeline for North Carolina.

“Today’s emergency declaration will help North Carolina prepare for any potential motor vehicle fuel supply interruptions across the state and ensure motorists are able to have access to fuel,” said Governor Cooper.

The Order received concurrence from the Council of State.
