Energy Secretary Can’t Stop Smiling Over Gas Shortages, Pipeline Hack

jennifer granholmJennifer Granholm sure doesn’t look too upset over the impact of the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline on gasoline and other energy supplies.

The national security issues? Fuhgeddaboudit. Don’t you realize it’s good for you to learn to get along without fossil fuels?

Did you realize that if you drive an electric car, this wouldn’t be a problem?

Watch as a reporter’s question on whether the shutdown would “speed up” the transition to green energy yields utterly inappropriate (and chilling, if you think about it) smiles from Granholm:

Absolutely ghoulish. Never let a crisis go to waste!

White House reporter eagerly asks Energy Secretary Granholm how these gas shortages due to the Colonial pipeline will help the administration push people toward accepting renewable energy.

Sacrifices are going to have to be made, and it’s the little people who must make them. Don’t expect Granholm to take the bus to work or swear off private jets.

And don’t call what’s going on a “gasoline shortage”! That’s too reminiscent of Jimmy Carter. Call it a “supply crunch”! She’s got her glasses on to show how concerned and well informed she is, but the smiles still sneak through:

Energy Sec. Jennifer Granholm says that the current gasoline situation is a “supply crunch,” not a “gasoline shortage.”

The New York Times is doing everything it can to minimize the political fallout for Biden of this fiasco. Even going full Orwell and denying the reality of
gasoline shortages supply crunches:

Colonial Pipeline, a vital U.S. fuel artery that was shut down by a cyberattack, said it hoped to restore most operations by the end of the week. Since the shutdown, there have been no long lines or major price hikes for gas.

Here’s what to know.

If you follow the link on this tweet, you’ll observe that the Times edited out this embarrassing counterfactual bit of propaganda from the story (without acknowledging the change).

They certainly have nothing to fear from the Twitter “fact-checkers.”

    Add to that the ruinous, deadly anti-scientific nonsense of the policy responses to the Chinese virus. How democrat governors used the Covid to kill the elderly, destroy political opponents and reward woke big biz. Long, long past time to push back.

    Let’s see, damage the oil reserves, disrupt fuel supplies, destroy our borders, end election integrity, impose censorship….quite a list of accomplishments in just four months.

      Exactly – and many more months to do more damage to the US. The $2 trillion of additional spending coming is a big step in destroying the economy.

    I’m not sure that Americans will have the same takeaway as these “elites” who are totally clueless about real life but want to force us to live in poverty, which would be the result of following their Green Debacle.

    Well also according to the Eco-Wacko Crack-POTS back in the 1970’S the Earth was either suppost to be dead or so polluted we would have all our major cities under giant Domes and we would need to wear Gas Masks to go outside now according to those modern Eco-Freaks were going to be flooded

      We have needed to wear masks to go outside…

      But for an entirely different reason and just as dubious.

      Social engineering is such fun.

    To be fair to President Carter, in the late seventies we were constantly being told the fossil fuels would soon run out.

    We now know that to be rubbish. Now we’re being told the moderate climate will run out…
