Turns out that the Keystone XL Pipeline Matters…
This week, the Colonial Pipeline which supplies roughly 45% of the east coast oil supply suffered a cybersecurity breach by a Russian criminal group sending gasoline prices soaring to seven-year highs and causing fuel shortages in several states and cars to line up for blocks and blocks as people scrambled to fill up their automobiles.
It’s like we are back in the 70’s again.
Do you think now Mr. Biden might admit that cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline project on his first day in office was not such a bright idea?
The shutdown of a major fuel pipeline should be a wake-up call to the Biden Administration.
Under President Trump, we became energy independent and the number one energy producer in the world. The U.S. needs to get back to investing more in domestic oil and gas production.
Instead, Mr. Biden halted the Keystone XL pipeline project and reversed the Resolution Copper project. If Mr. Biden was really serious about rebuilding our infrastructure, he would focus on the need to be strengthening our ability to combat cyber-attacks. Nearly half the country has been brought to its knees by this cyber-attack, yet Biden’s latest spending plan allocates a paltry $13 billion out of $2.2 trillion for cyber security.
We need meaningful reform which is why I sent a letter to Mr. Biden requesting that he prioritize reforms which promote construction and permitting of new pipelines and refineries as he pursues an infrastructure bill rather than failed Green New Deal policies which make us weaker.
