Joe Biden has created a happy virtual reality in which everyone can use electric public transportation to travel around.
Except in this present reality, Joe Biden’s green dreams are harming Americans right now by shutting down our own energy independence, having to rely upon other countries, building up their options while cutting our own. He destroyed the Keystone XL Pipeline and all the drilling required by the Willow Project, Alaska. Now he’s even considering cutting Enbridge’s Line 5.
That is extremely significant. Enbridge:
Line 5 supplies 65% of propane demand in the Upper Peninsula, and 55% of Michigan’s statewide propane needs. Line 5 has the capacity to transport 540,000 barrels per hour (bpd), of light crude and synthetic crude oils, as well as natural gas liquids, which can be refined into propane.
Lawmakers who represent that area called it “essential to the lifeblood of the Midwest.”
“Should this pipeline be shut down, tens of thousands of jobs would be lost across Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and the region; billions of dollars in economic activity would be in jeopardy; and the environment would be at greater risk due to additional trucks operating on roadways and railroads carrying hazardous materials,” Rep. Bob Latta (R-Ohio) wrote to President Biden last week in a letter that was signed by a dozen other congressional lawmakers.
These experts also commented on the potential impact of the closing of the pipeline on prices and the possibility for shortages.
“Furthermore, as we enter the winter months and temperatures drop across the Midwest, the termination of Line 5 will undoubtedly further exacerbate shortages and price increases in home heating fuels like natural gas and propane at a time when Americans are already facing rapidly rising energy prices, steep home heating costs, global supply shortages, and skyrocketing gas prices.”
But it isn’t just Republicans objecting now to Biden’s horrible moves.
On Monday, 11 Democratic senators wrote to Biden and told him that whatever his green dreams, we needed to “ensure that Americans are able to afford to fill up their cars at the pump in the meantime.” Now that should be self-evident, but not apparently to Joe Biden.

Senators included Jack Reed (D–RI), Bob Casey, D-PA), Patrick Leahy(D-VT), Maggie Hassan/D-NH), Elizabeth Warren/D–MA, Ed Markey/D–MA), Tina Smith/D–MN), Chris Van Hollen/D–MA), Jeanne Shaheen/D-NH), Richard Blumenthal/D–CT), and Sherrod brown (D–OH).
The 11 Democrats highlighted how high the gas prices are already now, noting the “national price for a gallon of gasoline is the highest it has been since 2014, with an increase of more than $1 per gallon since this time last year.” They stated further that “in our home states, high gasoline prices have placed an undue burden on families and small businesses trying to make ends meet, and have proven especially burdensome as our constituents continue to recover from the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Translation We know some of us are coming up for election in 2022 and we are going to get trounced in our elections because of what you are doing and how it’s hurting Americans.
Now the 11 senators asked for him to consider “a release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and a ban on crude oil exports.” But we shouldn’t even be talking about taking anything out of reserves when Biden is considering cutting pipelines we have in operation now. You must immediately stop this kind of madness.
It is also a sign for the future. If you think it’s bad now, understand once you start down this road to subordinate everything to the green dreams, it can get much worse. It’s just one example of the crazy possibilities.
