TENNESSEE, USA — Tennessee can expect gas prices to rise following a cyber extortion attempt on a vital U.S. pipeline that carries fuel from the Gulf Coast to the Northeast.
The Colonial Pipeline transports gasoline and other fuel through 10 states between Texas and New Jersey, and includes Tennessee. It delivers roughly 45% of the fuel consumed on the East Coast, according to the company.
