Fuel Shortage May Bring Hardships This Winter
South Carolina faces a potential fuel shortage this winter with estimates from the Governor's Energy Management Council predicting a 6 to 20 percent shortfall. The council urged Gov.

Protection hinges on conservation and possible legislative action to prevent extreme suffering during a severe cold spell.
