Biden's energy sec says 'pipe is best way' to transport fuel, sparks backlash regarding Keystone XL pipeline
The backlash over what some now call the hypocritical comments of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is growing.
It came Tuesday when she was at the White House discussing the emergency surrounding the Colonial pipeline and a reporter asked whether rail tankers would be used to transport gasoline supplies to the East coast.
“So this particular area of the country there – this is why we have doubled down on ensuring that there’s an ability to truck oil in – gas in,” Granholm said. “But it’s – the pipe is the best way to go.”

There you have it.  Pipe is the best way to go. Critics say if that’s the case, why was the Keystone XL pipeline canceled?It caught the attention of Leslie Rutledge, Attorney General in Arkansas.

“Biden’s Energy Secretary says that pipe is the best way to transport fuel — I agree, Sec. Granholm [and] that’s why I sued. Now tell the “Big Guy” & let’s put Arkansans back to work!”
