Michigan Gov. Whitmer looking to shut down Enbridge pipeline during national gas shortage
'I’m taking every action I can to shut them down,' Whitmer writes in a Washington Post op-ed

Colonial Pipeline paid hackers up to $5M: reports
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer botched timing in her attempt to shut down another oil pipeline as America is experiencing a major gas shortage.

The Democrat explained in a Washington Post op-ed on Friday that the Line 5 pipeline owned and operated by Enbridge Inc. has pumped crude oil through the cross-section of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, the Straits of Mackinac, for 70 years. Whitmer described the two 4.5 mile sections as a "ticking time bomb."

"Oil and water don’t mix — especially when the latter involves the Great Lakes, the repository of more than 20 percent of the world’s fresh water," she writes.

"I’m taking every action I can to shut them down, to protect two Great Lakes and the jobs that depend on them."

Line 5, which is part of a network that moves crude oil and other petroleum products from Western Canada, transports about 540,000 barrels per day. Whitmer mentioned the rupture of Line 6B of the Enbridge pipeline back in 2010 which alerted the nation to the dangers of oil spills – a disaster she’s attempting to avoid.

But the recent Colonial Pipeline hack which shut down the entire 5,500-mile stretch caused a scramble at the gas pump, driving prices to record highs and causing major shortages. According to reports, a Virginia gas station raised its regular gas prices to $7 per gallon.

Whitmer filed a lawsuit in November against Enbridge notifying that the state of Michigan would allow the pipeline 180 days to cap oil flow operations. The governor threatened to "disgorge the company of all profits unjustly earned" upon refusal to comply, to which Enbridge replied they will continue pumping until a court orders them to stop.

"Running pipelines through the water of the Great Lakes is, and always has been, a dangerous threat," Whitmer concluded. "I will not sit idle as this time bomb keeps ticking."

  Which, as far as I am concerned, proves that the main movement of the left is to follow Saul Alinski's
  advice, and destroy the system, so they can rebuild it in their Marxist vision.

   What they don't seem to realize, is that is exactly what every communist regime has done.

    We can all see just how that worked out .n such earthly Utopias as the old Soviet Union, the old "eastern bloc" of soviet satellites, Cuba, North Korea, China and Venezuela...

  Never forget Tiananmen square!

  Think back..time has proven, everything the communists touch turns first to misery for the people..then it all turns to s*#t  !
 
  The Biden administration has borne out the observation.  Can you name any program they have started, that has not harmed Americans..and has not already turned to S*#t ?

One has to understand that the Michigan governor is not experiencing a fuel shortage. Only "the little people" experience discomfort, and misery.
She, being a "liberal elitist" has no forward thinking. She will always be part of the "ruling class", she will always have plenty, and she will always be "special".

[Lloyd Smale]

she is a waco socialist plain and simple. The real sad part of this is its an issue that the local native Americans are championing. They are one of the biggest pushers up here to close it. For the most part up here they are all liberals. They make millions off of there casinos and can buy power. They remind me alot of the teachers unions using there influence. Running joke up here is the native Americans would never admit there heritage until they started getting benifts. Dad said when he was young nobody would admit to being an indian. They all called themselves french canadians. They are one of the biggest pushers of the new green deal bs in this state. Ones things absolutely true. She could give a rats ass about the people of the south suffering over this. She doesnt even care about the fact that up here in the UP our propane costs will skyrocket if they close that line. Her only concern is the bottom 1/3 of the state where all her voters are. She is just as much of a nut case as aoc, sanders, cuomo, shummer and pelosi are. She is just a power hungy bitch looking to climb the ladder to the white house. God help us if she gets there. She has proven that just like coumo she is even willing to kill to get there.

  These neo-communists are pushing for their "elite, ruling class privileges", even before they have successfully installed communism.

The answer to the problem is to be progressive in ones thinking, finding a solution to protecting the waters while still accomplishing the goal of economical oil transportation. The trouble here is that the "progressive party" has redefined progressive to mean controlling. You do have to give her credit in the fact she has identified a possible problem, the fact she wants to use that as an excuse to further the agenda of the "progressive party's" move to electric vehicles is entirely another problem! Anything to make gas expensive! If the electric vehicle cannot compete against other forms of energy, then artificially  raise the price of those other forms of energy.

  About the time Pres Trump left office, gas was running about $2 a gallon, now it is $3 and climbing...more like $4.50 in California..

  Food going up,

 lumber through the roof,

  conflict again in Mideast,
 
   Borders are thorofares for drugs, and criminal gangs,

   Kids collapsing while wearing mask in sports,

   Racial hate and dissension rampant,

   Military being corrupted,

   Our grandchildren are in hock for life,

   Teachers refusing to teach,

   Trust in government statements is nil,

    communism is having a picnic in the US congress,

    We are surrendering our energy independence,

    Taxes are up'

   Incomes are down,

    We are about to finance billions of $$ of Iranian terror weapons,

    We are living in a much more regimented, slavish culture,

    Murders, rapsts and child molesters walking free,

    Constitutional freedoms are evaporating,

    ...And the inmates are running the asylum..

      DOES ANYBODY MISS DONALD TRUMP YET !!
