Default Alaska pipeline shut in

here goes the price of oil again


The shutdown of one of the United States' key oil arteries, carrying about 12 percent of the country's production, is the latest setback for the 33-year old pipeline, which is becoming more expensive to maintain as it ages, and handles less than a third of the oil it did at its peak in the 1980s

UPDATE 3-Alaska pipeline closed, no restart date set | Reuters

This is amazing! Is BP trying to raise prices to clear the money lost from the gulf? Trickerdations are afoot!
