The Biden administration swung aggressively into action after a primary gasoline pipeline fell prey to a cyberattack — understanding that the situation posed a possible series of political and economic risks.
The pipeline shutdown was an all-hands-on-deck situation for a young presidency that has also had to deal with a pandemic, a recession, an influx of unaccompanied children at the southern border, a troop withdrawal from Afghanistan and high-stakes showdowns globally that carry the specter of war.
The administration devoted the first half of the week to showcasing all the steps it was taking to get gas back to service stations in affected areas. It scrambled into action after ransom-seeking hackers on Friday shut down the pipeline, which delivers about 45% of the East Coast’s gas. The shutdown caused a supply crunch and spiking prices — all of which the administration was preparing to address.

Typical, cause a problem, make a fix to cause more problems.
I didn’t see them do a darn thing.
It's like reading Pravda under Yuri Andropov.
We need oil....and gas as long as the USA has people. To cut out fossil fuels is just plain ignorant.
The AP is pathetic. They are simply cheerleaders for Progressives. You caused a problem? You did nothing to solve the problem? Yay! You have moved aggressively to save the world from great peril!
The notion of a cyberattack was poo-pooed by the demonrats during the Trump administration.
Now, with a lesser-than-Cahtuh presidency in charge, I believe the nation will be behind-the-eight-ball for a while.

Channel 1979 again !
Bring back them gas lines
Odds are better than 50-50 that the AP took a press release from the White House and printed it as a news story.
Political Peril?
Not when the Marxist Party controls the vote and the people....
Catch up, people.
Look around yourselves.
It’s a new day, not like yesterday.
Embrace the suck.
Ignore it at your own peril.
“all-hands-on-deck situation for a young presidency”
What a joke. Xiden continues to drool and mumble while America burns.
“””The pipeline shutdown was an all-hands-on-deck situation for a young presidency that has also had to deal with a pandemic, a recession, an influx of unaccompanied children at the southern border, a troop withdrawal from Afghanistan and high-stakes showdowns globally that carry the specter of war.”””
Wow. Such bootlicking from the press. They must have been trained by former employees at Pravda.
You’ll notice that the key phrase in the headline is political peril — that’s all they care about...
Why is Deep State hiding the name of the company involved...?
Oh my goodness, that clip made me laugh! That entire skit is hysterical. Tim and Harvey were in fine form.
I don’t think I heard who exactly caused this act of terrorism.
All I saw was Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm claim that the 2,000 plus gas stations were out of gas and the resulting lines of cars trying to get fueled, was because the public was hoarding gas.
She was more concerned about price gouging than taking blame for the lack of fuel.
Her logic was that people needing gas to get to work and run their daily lives was their problem, not the government's fault.
She laughed off the empty gas stations and long lines, because things would get better within a week....from her doing nothing.
