Propane price is spring too, as much as about 1/4 and quality down significantly
@
a few hundred cars?????
@
They better switch to wood burning cars because LPG will be hit next once the oil refineries are destroyed 🤣
@
Hook up a portable gas stove to the car and you can boil pelmeni and solyanka on it. 😊😅😂

Ukraine needs to hit LPG facilities next! Hard to have any sympathy for a country who is an aggressor and bombing the civilian population. Try waiting in line for gasoline while your enemy is dropping bombs all around you, committing war crimes. Then you might have something to really complain about!

Weird idea. The L in LNG stands for Liquefied, ie very very cold. The plants doing that refrigeration are huge, complex and vulnerable. We’ve seen that with Trump’s own “3-day war”. Ukraine will not focus on them right away, but when they do…

How about retrofitting Putin out of a job?

It's not like you can switch that thing overnight.

This is what happens when someone wants to possess what isn't theirs.

Resourceful people. Reminds me of hydrogen and the hindenburg problem. Exploding cars on Russian streets and exploding drones in the air. Fun times
@
After everything Russia has done, this is just a fraction of what they deserve.
@
They can run their cars on Putin's lies and war crimes. 🙄

The gas too will be in shortage very soon..
@
Time to attack natural gas plants😂😂😂
@
LPG will then be in short supply for winter. What then? These resources DO deplete.

If they could power their vehicles with copium, they would never run out of fuel.

LPG is propane-butane, a product of oil refining just like gasoline and diesel. Its made in the same refineries that are now burning.

And when lpg runs out?

They should maybe think ahead to steam power fuelled by wood.
