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.

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

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?

@Budwick Sorry, your claim is
!!! FALSE !!! FALSE !!! FALSE !!!

Here's the truth:

November 9, 2021 Annemarie Mannion

The Biden administration hinted it might increase the scope of an environmental review of a replacement tunnel for part of the Enbridge Inc. Line 5 underwater oil and gas pipeline from Canada to Michigan, but it walked back that suggestion a day later.

Line 5 is a 68-year-old pipeline that carries crude oil and natural gas liquids through the Straits of Mackinac. Enbridge wants to replace it with a tunnel along the route.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Nov. 8 that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is preparing “an environmental impact statement on Line 5 and the construction of that replacement line,” which she said “will help inform any additional action or position the U.S. will be taking on the replacement of Line 5.”

@ElwoodBlues If it mattered...........if anything you ever pointed out to Budwick Clown Show was read by him...and if he was man enough to EVER say I had that wrong.....pointing out the lies and crap he believes and spouts as truth would matter. You can refute about 95% of what he says with actual facts.......but it don't make a dent in him. He is so lost in lies and conspiracy theories and misinformation......he's more of a joke poster troll than someone to take seriously.

Um. They are now reviewing it BECAUSE Canada reminded them of the treaty. This really shouldn’t be so difficult. @ElwoodBlues

Um. The underwater pipeline is 68 years old. Um. They are constructing a tunnel for a replacement. Um. Did you think underwater pipelines last forever?

Reality never was your strong suit, was it?

@ElwoodBlues So it's not selling that high in Lancaster, california?

ElwoodBlues · M

@sunsporter1649 People with signs can post crazy prices. That doesn't mean it has any bearing on life in the USA.

Do you live there? Can we see a wider shot with more context than just a sign? Given that most of your cartoons are based on lies, it wouldn't surprise me if this was a lie too.

Budwick · 70-79, M

@ElwoodBlues Why would gasoline be like triple the national average in Lancaster, California!

And, even more crazy - How can Elmwood be so stupid on so many topics EVERY DAY?

ElwoodBlues · M

@Budwick DUUUDE!!! You're throwing insults instead of defending your false pipeline claim!!! That's how we know you've conceded defeat in the debate!!!

Budwick · 70-79, M

@ElwoodBlues

People with signs can post crazy prices.

Other people can deny that signs with crazy prices are meaningless!

@Budwick Trying to distract from your false pipeline claim? C'mon, why not just admit you were wrong. Isn't that what Jesus would want??

Budwick · 70-79, M

@ElwoodBlues The world economy for crude oil has an effect on the cheapest gas prices at the gas stations in Lancaster, CA . If there is an abundance of oil out there, prices for it decline and that will reduce the cheapest gas price in Lancaster, CA , but the exact opposite will happen if the supply is scarce. Further - when Joe reduces the amount available oil - that is the definition of reduced supply.

[That's why we enjoyed lower gas prices during Trump's administration. Cuz, Trump loves America and Americans. Joe,... not so much.

@Budwick You're still attempting to distract from your false pipeline claim, ROTFL!!!

Speaking of distractions,....

It's almost like Canadian Tribes said the same thing I did!
Are you calling Canadian Indians liars?

jackjjackson · 70-79, M

And a prime example of reduced brain cells. @Budwick

ElwoodBlues · M

@Budwick Your post was a lie, and in the face of overwhelmping proof, you simply can't admit it. SAD!!
