11 Dems Smack Biden With Reality Check on Rising Gas Prices

RedState: In the happy virtual reality that Joe Biden paints, everyone will get around on electric public transportation.

Except in this present reality, Joe Biden’s green dreams are harming Americans right now by shutting down our own energy independence, having to rely upon other countries, building up their options while cutting our own. He cut the Keystone XL pipeline and the drilling that the Willow Project in Alaska would have provided. Now he’s even considering cutting Enbridge’s Line 5.

How significant is that? According to Enbridge:

Line 5 supplies 65% of propane demand in the Upper Peninsula, and 55% of Michigan’s statewide propane needs. Overall, Line 5 transports up to 540,000 barrels per day (bpd) of light crude oil, light synthetic crude, and natural gas liquids (NGLs), which are refined into propane.

Lawmakers who represent that area called it “essential to the lifeblood of the Midwest.”

“Should this pipeline be shut down, tens of thousands of jobs would be lost across Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and the region; billions of dollars in economic activity would be in jeopardy; and the environment would be at greater risk due to additional trucks operating on roadways and railroads carrying hazardous materials,” Rep. Bob Latta (R-Ohio) wrote to President Biden last week in a letter that was signed by a dozen other congressional lawmakers.

They also pointed to the impact on prices and shortages should the pipeline be closed.

“Furthermore, as we enter the winter months and temperatures drop across the Midwest, the termination of Line 5 will undoubtedly further exacerbate shortages and price increases in home heating fuels like natural gas and propane at a time when Americans are already facing rapidly rising energy prices, steep home heating costs, global supply shortages, and skyrocketing gas prices.”

But it isn’t just Republicans objecting now to Biden’s horrible moves. more

  1. Like it or not Captain Crap Weasel, the pipelines for gas and oil ARE part of our INFRASTRUCTURE!!
    They are our Nation’s life-blood and need to be maintained, preserved, expanded and paid for with the Trillions that you intend to squander in your relentless effort to destroy the United States MR. 81M!

  2. Every election some Dem voters are interviewed saying they cast their vote for the Dem because he/she “cares” about them more than the ‘mean old Repub’. Then you watch the Dem Pres consider shit like this, shutting down the XL Pipeline and casting open the border. Yeah, Pres Biden really “cares” about the voters…
