Fox News reported, “The Biden administration is reportedly weighing the potential market consequences of shutting down an oil pipeline in Michigan. …”
The pipeline, known as Line 5, is 30 inches in diameter and travels from Superior, Wisconsin, through both the Upper and Lower Peninsula of Michigan before ending in Sarnia, Ontario. According to Enbridge, which owns Line 5, closing the 645 mile-long pipeline would mean that Michigan would lose access to 756,000 gallons of propane a day, or 55% of the amount the company supplies to the state. Michigan's residential propane consumption is the nation's highest.
About 315,000 homes in Michigan currently rely on propane, and Line 5 serves an estimated 55% of the state’s propane needs. It provides approximately 65% of the propane used in the Upper Peninsula and northern Michigan, with no readily available alternatives.
A Line 5 shutdown would also cause a shortfall of 14.7 million gallons of gas, diesel and jet fuel each day, Enbridge says. That’s 45% of what it supplies to refineries in Michigan, Ohio and the region.
According to PBF Energy, which operates one of two refineries in Toledo:
A Line 5 shutdown would put Ohio refineries at risk. The closure of one of those refineries could result in the loss of $5.4 billion in annual economic output to Ohio and southeast Michigan, and the loss of thousands of direct and contracted skilled trades jobs. A Line 5 shutdown would, to varying degrees, compromise crude supply to 10 refineries in the region, directly affecting fuel prices. There are no options for replacing the volume of light crude delivered by Line 5; rail can provide less than 10% of that volume. A Line 5 shutdown puts at least 15% of northwest Ohio’s fuel supply at risk, as well as more than half of the jet fuel supplies for the Detroit Metro Airport.
Whitmer is now trying to find another gas source for the furnaces to burn the unvaxxed with yellow stars.
Whitler wants it shut down ASAP.
Any election where massive voter fraud is not punished is *exactly* the same as a lost election. The bad guys still take office.
Use it all you want.
Well, they voted for it.

You know damned well the votes that counted came from FRAUD.
We , the majority, didn’t vote for squat
Dominion did.
( with help from sytel, eas , smartmatic and clarion )
I smell rino.
And CCP
All 50 states.
“The only other way would be to load tankers at Duluth and run them around the horn on the great lakes.”
Yeah, right. That should work real well when the lakes start getting covered with ice between late November to early April. (/S!)
And the rural folk generally will start getting their fireplace inserts and outdoor wood boilers busy pretty quick. So much for trees to help cut global warming by taking out CO2.
“The Democrats continue to act as if pleasing voters no longer matters. Has anything changed in Michigan regargding how votes are collected and counted since 2020?”

We’re working on some items as best we can. Not expecting any help from the So Rows sponsored trifecta of governor, attorney general and secretary of state.
“Shipping is not near as safe as pipelines”
Ya think?
Aside from Marquette County and sometimes Gogebic County, the UP is conservative. As is the Northern Lower Peninsula.
A good many of those up there already have outdoor wood boilers. And a good many burn firewood in common wood stoves and furnaces aside from outdoor boilers.
LOL We know that, but there are a bunch of Leftists who have mo clue
Biden doesn’t know what planet he is on. Most or all his staffers are obama retreads. They have the same mindset as obama. Damage this country as much as they can.
Remember, every thing obama did to this country was damaging.
How many will die because of Biden?
That’s exactly what they are doing. In order to “build back” you must first destroy.
