Many are crediting the governor for his quick action (signing a piece of paper declaring an emergency is allegedly \u201chelping\u201d) to avert a crisis. While the shortage could have left thousands without heat in Colorado during winter, it seems like if you live in a colder climate, you\u2019d have a\u00a0backup source of heat anyway.\u00a0 The governor\u2019s \u201caction\u201d was likely nothing more than simple fear mongering<a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.org\/publications\/article.asp?id=1510\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> brainwashing the public to believe they cannot survive without the government<\/a> on their own.<\/p>\n<p>There have even been some reports claiming there never was a shortage, adding even more <a href=\"https:\/\/denver.cbslocal.com\/2018\/12\/27\/disaster-declaration-propane-gas-colorado\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">evidence that the disaster declaration is nothing more than a confusing bit of fear mongering.<\/a> Officials say the shortage stems from in-state production issues, which have forced propane suppliers to turn to out-of-state resources. But many in the industry don\u2019t know where these so-called officials have gotten their information.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kktv.com\/content\/news\/Disaster-emergency-declared-in-Colorado-for-propane-shortage-503464081.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As part of his declaration, Hickenlooper relaxed his own restrictions<\/a> on how many hours drivers can work, allowing more propane to be delivered. But this would have all been useless propaganda and immediately labeled as nothing more than fear mongering had those affected by the disaster declaration been adequately prepared and not subjugated by the fear of a shortage that may never have existed, to begin with.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colorado Declares A Disaster Emergency Over A Lack Of Propane An emergency declaration was made in Colorado on Christmas Eve.\u00a0 The state was suffering from a lack of propane.
