Authorizing the completion of the Keystone XL pipeline to lower fuel prices and give the United States more leverage against Russia would amount to "galloping after permanent solutions to immediate short term problems," Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in an interview with MSNBC late Wednesday.
Amid skyrocketing oil prices accompanying Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, Republican governors and lawmakers are urging President Biden to reverse his cancellation of Keystone on his first day in office and use some of the 9,000 untapped oil leases on public lands to counter dependence on Russian oil.
MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, the host of "The 11th Hour," acknowledged the president "does not set the price of gas," but she argued "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," she said. "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?"

What an idiot
“Cushion the impacts.”
Is that like biting the cushions?
Another example of the fact that at their core Democrats are delusional and irrational.
so their green Energy is not a permanent solution just a scam
Yeah, at their surface, too.
Someone might want to have someone tape his mouth shut. Too much crap is spewing out
He was too muffled to understand what was being said. An entity of it’s persuasion needs to choose it’s words carefully. Cushion and ‘impact’ may not be a good choice for it to use.
Screw you Butt-boy.
Cushion the impact when you are getting it up the wazoo. Leave it the Bootigig for that image.
“short term problems”. Hmmm. Sounds like we will have cheap plentiful energy before long from this analysis. Just where is this cheap long term energy coming from and how expensive will it be? Not that I’d believe a word they would say, of course.
No their not, you have to see the entire game they are playing, by their rules, and the expected end results.
That said as a Texan i can state that this guyis one of the biggest A..Holes you will ever see.
Here we go.
No because permanent solutions to problems and troubles is just awful! How could anyone want to have their problems permanently fixed? That’s just crazy talk!
Pete was the best we could do as a country for that position? Surprised he found time between breast feeding stints to say anything. Is he still on maternity leave?
Hire a complete idiot with no relevant education or experience, get idiot “solutions”. WHY would someone NOT want a permanent solution to problem? Do you like having to come up with different solutions multiple times? What is the worth of that? Don’t you have other problems to solve after solving one? I feel very sorry for those two babies being raised by these two pervert morons.
If a short term problem is going to destroy your country,
YOU NEED A PERMANENT SOLUTION
Buttjuice knows a thing or two about pipes
We are being governed by low grade morons.
And it won’t end well.
