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.”

Oh THANK GOODNESS!
I thought Buttass was the secretary of transportation, not energy.
Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest.
Biden, Harris and Plugs.
I’m still doing that.
Read thru it 4 times already and can’t figure out what this nut is talking about.
Libtards don’t want solutions to the problems they create 🤪
Uhhh....
No long-term solutions to short-term problems...
...processing....
So...no long-term COVID measures for a short-term viral cycle?
Not only did he sum up, perfectly, the situation of oil supply, but the entire political process of the democrat party, and to some extent, the republicans.
That should be Joe Biden’s campaign motto. “No permanent solutions to temporary problems.”
I loved the comment I read the other day, “How long does it take to charge a tank battery using solar panels?”
Galloping Moron Alert!
That is like saying, “Don’t remove the cancer from my body, just give me the placebo.”
That's right...if you SOLVE a problem, you can't use it again (as in never let it go to waste).
It's like the medical community and cures. Cancer and heart disease will never be cured because there's too much money made treating them!
Butt Giggity is the temporary problem.
“Read thru it 4 times already and can’t figure out what this nut is talking about.”
Vaccine booster #4 will fix that!
;-)
One can wish things....though.
Go home and milk the baby, Pete. You’ll still get paid.
The strategic petroleum reserve is not in place for situations like this, to help you politically. Is in place when we have supply issues for national security purposes not to help a dementia patient and his Party come November.
Yep. Butthead was selected because he was a Sodomite, by the apostate Resident.
