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?

I just watched a Steve Wallis video where he camped in his back yard in an ice tent with a wood stove inside, it was -20F outdoors and he got it heated up to 85F in that ice tent. Might have to be an option for some people.

@cherokeepatti My great grand parents and their 5 children moved to Alberta in the late fall of 1904. They spent the winter living in a tent. My grandmother (a teenager at the time) remembers waking up in the morning with the outside temperature 45 below F. They were tough back then. Not sure why they left Oklahoma or why they stayed after that cold introduction but stay they did.
