Honduras: Takeover ordered of oil storage tanks

Unread postby DarkDawg » Mon 15 Jan 2007, 14:54:18

LA Times$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'H')onduras will take temporary control of foreign-owned oil storage terminals in an attempt to drive down fuel prices, President Manuel Zelaya said.

Zelaya ordered the move after failing to reach a deal with ExxonMobil, Chevron and a local company to rent the terminals.

"It is not a nationalization, it's a temporary use of the storage tanks," he said.

Honduras produces no crude, has no refinery and is heavily dependent on Shell, ExxonMobil and Chevron for its fuel supplies.

As I've been saying...

These oil companies have got to start using a "scortched earth" policy. As soon as the word comes down they blow every single well/tank/platform & leave...never to return again.
