Biden Shutting Down Pipeline That Supplies Energy To Midwest

The Biden administration is reviewing the possible ramifications of shutting down a key pipeline transporting crude oil and natural gas from Canada to Michigan.

“We have a state in Michigan that uses the most residential propane in the nation,” said Jason Hayes, the director of environmental policy for the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. “And yet, we’re seriously considering shutting down this pipeline and giving these people not even two or three months notice, just basically saying, ‘well, sorry, you’re gonna be on your own.’”

Line 5 carries about 540,000 barrels of oil and gas per day from Canada to Michigan, which relies on the pipeline for most of its propane needs, according to its operator Enbridge.

So now the question is;

Is it worse to abandon citizens in a foreign country - left to be hunted down and killed,

OR

Needlessly remove a key resource from citizens at home so they can freeze to death at home?

Living close to the source of the oil and natural gas in that line the take is a little bit different. The line also carries oil and gas on to Sarnia Ontario which has a large oil refinery supplying gasoline and jet fuel etc. The funny part from our perspective is that the part of Canada that most hates Alberta oil and gas is about to feel the loss of the feed stock from Alberta.
@hippyjoe1955 reminds me of the coal power stations here in NSW.. they deliberately didn’t do any running maintence for years.. and now they can claim it’s too expensive to keep running..

Gee gosh.. better do solar energy now folks.. right or wrong..
