NEW YORK (AP) — One of the biggest suppliers of oil to the United States may shut off the spigot this weekend, pushing crude and gasoline prices higher for Americans.

Nigeria, which supplies 8 percent of U.S. oil imports, could see production halted if striking workers walk off the job Sunday. Workers are demanding the return of a vital government fuel subsidy that has kept gasoline prices low in that impoverished and restive nation of 160 million people.

It's unclear how much of Nigeria's production would be affected. At worst, the country's 20,000 unionized oil workers could take as much as 2.4 million barrels of daily crude production off the market, striking at the heart of Nigeria's oil-dependent economy.

Time to tap Prudhoe Bay and lift the middle finger.

Donger just creamed in his jeans.

Another example of why they need to stop screwing around with the Keystone pipeline project.

Donger just jizzed

Time to Invade Nigeria.

Awesome. We can look forward to the refined producers tripling the actual price increase, the retailers doubling their actual price increase, then both reporting record profits for Q1 of 2012.

Yes. Yes! YYYYYEEESSSS!

And I'm spent.

There isn't a rancher/farmer (all conservatives) in SD or NE that supports keystone. Lot's of reasons why.

Come on, I know you want to bump the Gasoline prices thread.

That's not going to happen anytime soon...

Breaking: State Department to reject Keystone pipeline today

The Obama administration will announce this afternoon it is rejecting a Canadian firm’s application for a permit to build and operate a massive oil pipeline across the U.S.-Canada border, according to sources who have been briefed on the matter.

However the administration will allow TransCanada to reapply after it develops an alternate route through the sensitive habitat of Nebraska’s Sandhills. Deputy Secretary of State William J. Burns will make the announcement, which comes in response to a congressionally-mandated deadline of Feb. 21 for action on the proposed Keystone pipeline.

Eventually they will consider dirt too valuable a resource to dig.

This isn't correct.

Obammer just
 

said he would not support the Keystone Pipeline. There goes 100,000 good paying jobs.
