The Biden administration's energy policies have drawn criticism as gas prices surge heading into the winter months
The Biden administration is reportedly weighing the potential market consequences of shutting down an oil pipeline in Michigan, drawing criticism from opponents. Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Biden's energy secretary, predicted Sunday that heating prices will rise this winter regardless of the Biden administration's decision on the pipeline. "Yeah, this is going to happen. It will be more expensive this year than last year," Granholm told CNN.
The administration has yet to decide on what to do with Line 5 and officials were gathering information only to present a clear picture of the situation, according to sources who spoke to Politico.
Line 5 is part of a network that moves crude oil and other petroleum products from western Canada, transporting about 540,000 barrels per day. Petroleum is taken from the pipeline in Escanaba, Michigan.
Jason Hayes, the director of environmental policy at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, blasted the Biden administration for its energy policies, telling Fox News that their work on Line 5 is "just one more example of being divorced from reality."
"They're planning to power an industrial nation like the United States on solar panels and wind turbines," Hayes said, while noting that even the solar panels and wind turbines require "oil, natural gas, nuclear and even coal" to be produced.
Hayes presented a dire picture of what shutting Line 5 could mean if people are unable to get natural gas or the electricity it provides as the nation heads into winter.

Let’s go Brandon
Take away until they convert to Marxism no options allowed.
administration approved
Do white liberal 'elites' get off on begging thugs to help them? Sure seems that way..
Biden wants to shut down another pipeline so he and his thugs can go begging to the House of Saud?
And so Americans can go broke trying to heat their homes this winter?
And there are still people in the country who think these disastrous decision are NOT intentional? Yikes... to be that stupid ...
And just what is the Administration’s justification for closing the line? Or do they even know what the word is??
The Biden administration is doing this on purpose. Just like the border, vaccine mandates etc.
This is evil and treasonous.

The ruling class is in a state of total war against the people.

Sing me a song; you’re a Singer,
Do me a wrong; you’re a Bringer of Evil,
The Devil is never a maker,
The less that you give; you’re a Taker
So it’s on and on and on
It’s Heaven and Hell

Instead of closing another pipeline in Michigan, he should be reopening the Keystone Pipeline, and backing up on all the drilling bans he instituted. In not doing so, he is showing himself to be dumbest individual to ever be in the office of president.
Shoot the dog and then claim it would have died anyway.
That is the Democratic Party policy in a nutshell.
Sure they are. "How many votes will we lose if the voters freeze to death?" "None. Dead people will still vote Democrat." "OK then, turn it off."
I hear it gets kinda cold in Michigan in the wintertime...
...especially the UP. Somewhere on the northwest side of the lower peninsula they already had around 12” of snow. Lake effect.
The UP gets snow by the yard deep and it gets very COLD. Two years ago 362” near Tamarack.

$15 gas is their target...
It is necessary in order to keep the slaves tied to their homes & neighborhoods where they can be controlled more easily...
“Do it d!psh!t. We’ll pay the price for a couple of years, but there won’t be another democrat elected for decades...”
100% correct ...
“They are good at breaking things. “
breaking things is a thousand times easier than making things work ... any fool can break things, only skilled, knowledgeable folks can make things work ...
speechless...
nobody, but nobody will listen in DC
Death by hypothermia
I am sorry, but never in my life have I ever wanted or wished people ...
But, life...my life...our lives are being threatened.
To sit here and die of hypothermia caused directly by our own government and not a real crisis?
It is unconscionable and yet, deliberate.
