“People are saying that if the pipeline that wasn’t working until now was still under construction, the situation with oil prices today would be different,” Granholm added. “Or that President Biden’s policies have cut production when we are actually at record levels of natural gas and LNG and we will be at record levels of oil production… We all know that is the same old DC BS.”
