I'll buy that the day I pull up to pump and I'm told "sorry, no gas". When katrina blew away one refinery and another one was down for some maint and the pipeline was being repaired in Alaska the price at the pump went from $2 to 3$ but the pump never went dry.

As for nuclear power plants, I live on Long Island, home of the now famous "Shoram Nuclear Power Plant". The one that was estimated to cost $300 million and ended up costing $2 Billion and never went on line. The cost is now being added onto our electric bills and we pay hands down the highest electric rates in the country.
