Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm: Gas Shortage Not a ‘Shortage’ But a ‘Crunch’
Breitbart ^ | 05/11/2021 | Charlie Spiering

The White House House argued Tuesday the United States was not experiencing a gas shortage after the Colonial ransomware attack, but a “crunch.”

“We know that we have gasoline, we just need to get it to the right places,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said Tuesday at the White House.

I say it, too.

Perky Jenny Granholm’s governor’s office was fem and gay, all the way.

Well we used to Jen until your boss, the schmuck Biden,ripped off the election and started methodically destroying our energy system.

No, democrat women make good public service people: Meter maids, parking lot attendants, rest room cleaners.

Playing pipeline politics, perhaps?

Michigan produces some retarded Governors.

We never should have agreed to take Canada's trash.

Granholm made an appearance on the TV show The Dating Game in 1978. Worth a few laughs

I guess this is technically true but it is ultimately a distinction without a difference. As an analogy, a fully operating power plant with plenty of electricity not reaching your home is no different to you than one that is shut down.

Columbia seems to have some and people are behaving themselves so far from what I’ve seen.

No nonessential driving for me. Just to hooterville 30 miles away (unless I’m laid off) and back.

How long before they start using this to make the case for electric cars? “This is just more evidence we need electric cars. We would not have this crisis if we had more electric cars.”

All this in the first 100 days! Hope there’s a huge backlash next year during midterms.

After this bimbo ruined Michigan, she couldn't get out of the state fast enough to flee to California.

*Nobody* with an IQ > 85 listens to a word she says.

Our stupid Democrat Governor Cooper declared an emergency this morning in a publicity stunt that created long lines for gas by noon across the state. Tonight there is no gasoline at retail stations in most of NC.

I’ve been wondering... Is diesel fuel distributed with the same system?

If it is, trucks soon won’t be rolling either, and stores will run out of food...

Then things get really interesting.

Yes.

This is actually an entire system of pipelines that deliver gasoline, diesel, and aviation (jet) fuels. Multiple articles are saying the restart of the system has begun, but, it’s so complex that some of the system could still be down at the end of this week.

I don’t know if it’s related, but some aisles of our Wal-Mart were flippin’ decimated last Sunday afternoon: Much like during the 1st wave of COVID. Locally we should be ok on fuels, as there are major terminals on the Ohio River near here. But some delivery trucks departing from the South (east of the Mississippi), Southeast, or East Coast might have a problem.

I wonder if there is any National plan in place to prioritize essential goods delivery in events like this?

Thanks for the confirmation.

"I wonder if there is any National plan in place to prioritize essential goods delivery in events like this?

If there is, it is probably to make sure Pelosi is well stocked with Ice Cream and Booze, Biden well stocked with pudding and Depends, 0bama well stocked with Arugula, Kobe Beef and Lobsters, and Schumer well stocked with whatever he likes.
