Get Ready for a Mad Max Apocalyptic World Down Your Street any Day Now! By John Steele

     What! Has the ALoR survivalist nutjob finally lost the last bit of sanity he had? Yes, most definitely. But, Consider:

“Australia is at risk of running out of fuel in the next few weeks due to the ongoing conflict in Syria. The escalating situation in the war-torn country threatens to cripple the supply chains that keep Australia going. While the International Energy Agency mandates that countries hold a stock reserve “equivalent to 90 days of net imports,” Australia only has 43 days worth of supply, the Australian reports. And that could be cut down even further if a global crisis threatens supply channels from places like the Middle East.

Low oil reserves and an over-dependence on imports is what’s driving Austrailia’s fuel concerns. Defense Strategy and Capability at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute senior analyst Dr. Malcolm Davis says Australia’s fuel reserves would last “20 days at best” if supplies were cut off, News.com.au reports. “[Australia is] one of the few countries in the world that does not take our energy security seriously,” said Dr. Davis. “It would be a Mad Max world. Our society and our economy would begin to fall apart very quickly… [because] everything depends on fuel to make an economy run. It is very serious.”

     Ok, I got that from my favourite survival site, but here is a mainstream reference:

     This should be enough evidence for us here to begin preparing for the worst-case scenario, for it definitely looks like there will be more trouble in the region, if not a Deep State-caused war:

     It would be a good idea to keep a full tank of petrol/diesel for your vehicle(s). I don’t think petrol storage in quantities for cars is legal (if I am wrong, someone could drop us an email), so I can’t say anything here or make any recommendations at all on that. Safety is a big issue with fuel anyway:

     Being limited to one full tank of petrol one should act to eliminate unnecessary trips, have a stockpile of food, since fuel shortages will mean that supermarkets may run low. Meanwhile keep your eyes on the Syria situation. We certainly will.
