BLACK ACTIVISTS OPPOSE LINE 5 PIPELINE SHUTDOWN AMIDST SKYROCKETING ENERGY PRICES
Washington, D.C. - Amidst soaring energy prices and predictions of a cold winter ahead, members of the Project 21 black leadership network condemned the Biden Administration for considering the shutdown of a pipeline that brings life-sustaining fossil fuels to the American people - particularly black Americans already dealing with energy poverty issues.
On November 8, White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that the Army Corps of Engineers was reviewing the environmental impact of the Line 5 pipeline. This could result in a shutdown of this vital piece of energy infrastructure delivering crude oil and other petroleum byproducts into Michigan at a rate that can exceed 500,000 barrels a day.
"The Biden Administration cannot say it supports environmental justice when it is preparing to effectively accelerate energy poverty," said Project 21 member Derrick Hollie. "It's nice to say you want to replace lead pipes in cities like Flint, but shutting down the Line 5 is going to literally freeze the pipes of black Midwesterners when they are forced to choose between staples like energy and food, as prices for both continue to rise. By caving to the radical green lobby, Biden is betraying the black community."

ReplyDeleteHow will they regulate electricity?? Its pretty easy to make your own power today.
ReplyDeleteBiden should be tried for treason. He'd rather pander to a few radical environmentaists than take care of millions of Americans. Spose China is paying our radical environmentalists? We know China pays the Biden crime family very well.
