“A lot of these pipelines are being built so that the United States can export and sell natural gas abroad. And, you know, people make geopolitical arguments as to why that should be the case,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said stupidly on Instagram.
In announcing her opposition to Pipeline 3, @AOC falsely claims it, along with the Keystone XL pipeline, were designed to export American natural gas abroad.

Uh, no. The Keystone XL Pipeline and the Michigan Line 3 pipeline bring oil from Canada to the United States. They are not gas pipelines and they are not exporting anything. The pipelines are the safest way to move oil, but the Left prefers the less safe transport — trains.
She used a big word — geopolitical — but didn’t dare explain what the geopolitical issue is.
Remember when the Left tried to make her sound like a scientist of sorts because of some high school or college science experiment she allegedly concocted? The Left has gone mad, truly they have.
If the US was trying to export gas to somewhere from an oil pipeline, I too would be concerned. It’s also a mystery why she opposes US exports when we import everything from the world’s worst polluters.

The only people dumber that AOC are the people that voted for her.
Funny that the oil still comes in only now on a rail line owned by Warren Buffett. Far more dangerous but paybacks have to be made!
These people are insane….Why do they want us to shut down our oil industry.. They believe in the worst economy since the great depression that every body will be ordered to go an electric car next month. Not realizing that it takes fossil fuels to make the electricity. that if half the population were driving electric cars that our electric grid would shut down everyday. If half the people that own cars had electric cars the energy grid would 30 times the power output that the entire U.S. electric system. In other words we would need 30 times the energy to produce that amount not to mention billions in upgrading the systems . not to mention the majority of power plants use fossil fuels.So we would need to burn 30 times the fossil fuels to produce the electricity than we are today. Electric cars are worse for the enviroment than gas powered vehicles..
AOC = Angry Obnoxious C**t
AOC is a Moron, but you have to wonder even more about the people who elected her. America wants to be not only be Energy independent, but able to produce a surplus because that puts us into the position to control oil prices and not OPEC.
