Because even Ozzy Osbourne and Keith Richards make more sense than Joe Biden.

The temporary shutdown in the Knoxville area has caused panic buying. Local gas supplies are now gone. If you ever need a reason to buy an electric car as a backup. Of course a flex fuel car would also be a possibility.

Maybe seeing what this outage is doing will make some people realize how utterly stupid it was for our president to shut down Keystone.

I was at a gas station up in the KC area today and they ran out of 87E. Had to get the 100% gas octane or 89/91

Dude inside said that many areas were experiencing 87E outages. So it is beginning to hit the Midwest.

A caller to one of the Atlanta talk stations claimed to be somewhat of an 'insider". Said that there have been emergency re-allocations of gas in the midwest, via long haul trucks, to help with the east coast situation.
She also said that they expect the pipeline to be online in a couple of days.
She could have been blowing smoke, but she was quite believable.

Why is this not being treated as a national emergency by Biden? 45% of the USA receives fuel through this pipeline and it's a "private matter?"

It is my opinion that they (the ruling class) are working on an angle to blame it on "Big (American) Oil". It will become another wedge to drive into the growing divide, a rallying cry for those who are fomenting class warfare.

The left sees the government/citizen dynamic as a parent/child relationship. Sometimes they have to do the unpleasant things because "It is for your own good". How else are you going to learn?

It's their Green New Deal. Isn't that what they want?

Willie, most already know this and several won't admit it. Makes ya wonder what the hell they are thinking or, what direction they intend to take us.
I don't see this ending well.

Governor DeSantis declared a statewide emergency in Florida today.

In all but extreme north Florida along the Georgia / Florida border, NONE of our gasoline comes from a pipeline.

Our fuel arrives here into the Port of Tampa by tanker and by barge. It is offloaded and stored in a huge facility there and is distributed around central Florida by tanker truck.

Nonetheless most gas stations in the area ran out of fuel today, allegedly due to "panic buying".

Governor DeSantis put the emergency order in place because, along with other needed measures, it allows the state and local authorities to police and prosecute price gouging.
