    Let's leave it there for now.
    We may need it in the future.
    Hitler ran an entire war on gas and diesel made from coal.
    Tech's all well and good, but I'm pretty sure our high tech dependent culture can be brought to a screeching halt in the blink of an eye.
    We need our reserves.

    Are they purposely trying to destroy the country’s economy?

    Biden admin considering shutting down another pipeline, drawing criticism and dire warnings as winter nears

    The Biden administration is reportedly weighing the potential market consequences of shutting down an oil pipeline in Michigan, drawing criticism from opponents. Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Biden's energy secretary, predicted Sunday that heating prices will rise this winter regardless of the Biden administration's decision on the pipeline. "Yeah, this is going to happen. It will be more expensive this year than last year," Granholm told CNN

    I 100% agree with this decision. Let's just shut off all pipelines and wells, and let the green monkey tree-huggers learn what life will be like without fossil fuels. Let's see them survive one season, nay, dare I say one WEEK, without fossil fuels. Mother fuckers. They have no fucking clue.

    All to save the spotted owl, and our children. Good luck you morons, who are so short-sighted it is amazing you survived the gene pool hatchet-contest.

    Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer took legal action Friday to shut down a pipeline that carries oil beneath a channel linking two of the Great Lakes.

    Whitmer’s office notified Canadian company Enbridge Inc. that it was revoking an easement granted 67 years ago to extend a roughly 4-mile (6.4-kilometer) section of the pipeline through the Straits of Mackinac. The revocation takes effect in 180 days, when the flow of oil must stop.

    “Enbridge has routinely refused to take action to protect our Great Lakes and the millions of Americans who depend on them for clean drinking water and good jobs,” the Democratic governor said in a statement. “They have repeatedly violated the terms of the 1953 easement by ignoring structural problems that put our Great Lakes and our families at risk.

    Based on today's number, the years left in 1980 should have been at least 90 years
