Gas Prices To Go Ballistic

A pipeline leak in the midwest(it could never happen to the Keystone pipe, now could it?) and refinery problems elsewhere, including a MASSIVE explosion at a Chevron California refinery yesterday, are rapidly propelling gas prices upward.

So, what could be done about it? Nothing you say?
Hogwash! When pipeline disruptions occur and refinery explosions happen, there ought to be a law that requires the exporting of oil/gas to cease with shipments redirected to the states. Let the prices rise somewhere else!
