Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour” that to combat oil prices skyrocketing amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, President Joe Biden did not want to authorize the Keystone Pipeline.
According to Buttigieg, it would be “galloping after permanent solutions to immediate short term problems.”
Anchor Stephanie Ruhle said, “I want to stay on gas for another moment. You’re absolutely right, the president does not set the price of gas, but he can influence it. And while releasing some strategic reserves matters, given how much has been released, it is really just a drop in the bucket. Are there things, and I realize this is controversial, it has huge environmental impacts, could the president possibly consider authorizing the Keystone Pipeline? Or working something out with Iran?”
Buttigieg said, “Look, the president has said that all options are on the table. But we also need to make sure that we are not galloping after permanent solutions to immediate short term problems, where more strategic and tactical actions in the short term that can make a difference, like what you have with the strategic reserve, which exists partly in order to respond to situations like this.”
He added, “The president has laid policies that are going help cushion the impacts of any volatility in energy markets in the future by building up more of a diversified and homegrown energy base for this country.”

This genius won the Iowa democrat caucus.
I had to check if this was the Bee. Buttjuice needs a protein shake
National suicide.
What a fool. I hope the American people, stressed at the gas pump, remember when voting who and which party is the culprit for the high prices. We went from under $3 to almost $6 at some places in the area. Last night in Carson City, I paid $0.30 more than just a couple of days ago. Thank you Joe and your Butt Boy. /s
What the manky Buttplug is trying to say is that the only acceptable permanent solutions are “green” solutions.
A pipeline is a permanent fixture, after all, and the elitist sodomites and pedophiles would not want that. Pipelines lower the costs of mobility for the Hoi Poloi. Elitists like him and his fellow travelers are all set either way. They just want to limit the mobility and standards of living of the commoners and deplorables.
Grrrrrr.... This buut boi is extremely aggravating. He is a real know it all. The arrogance! He will be sucking on the Federal tit forever. No exertion in the gritty private sector for this turd.
Speaking of "short term problems", The average lifespan of a homosexual is 42 years.
How dat feel, Buttgig..?
I don’t doubt that, but he is certainly a tool of Shwabie’s circle.
Decades ago I wondered how these no/low skill people reached prominant positions. The example of Jimmah Cahtah is what opened my 22 yrs old eyes to ‘groomed puppets’.
This is the new mantra of the Democrats. All options - WTF is that supposed to invoke? Joe Eight Ball's idea of what our foreign policy ought to be when he's really thinking, "how's this affect the price I gots to pay for that lil baggie on the street?" [or whatever that fentanyl-spike treat he gets.]
It's all just bull. Just like his "go get'em" nonsense. Neither he, nor his lil America's Mayor Petey have clue what's going on. And they don't care as long as they're in power and they have a complicit MSM to back them up with the lies out to Joe Eight Ball on the street.
The strategy of "Never let a crisis go to waste" is not helped by "permanent solutions."
My Lord. I believe circumstances will force the hand of these American haters and we’ll have to revive our domestic energy production over their politically dead bodies.
IF there is a god, the democraps will be punished at the ballot box for a long time for their actions.
Hey Bootybutt, go suck an egg...oh wait...
What an idiot.
Nope, he is one of Schwabs future leaders.
That may be an insult to idiots everywhere...
An honest imbecile is pretty much the same as a lying tyrant.
Either way, he needs to go.
It really is a mental and psychological disorder, despite what the DSM IV says.

Man proposes, God disposes.
That is one argument against suicide, not the Ukraine war and energy shortages. Major league dope who runs his stupid mouth effectively. . . .
