Today: Whitmer signs executive order to ensure adequate propane distribution
Well, when you shut down a pipeline delivering 756,000-gallons-a-day, 65% of the UP's propane and 55% of the state's propane supply, and you certainly don't have the trucks to replace that, you get a propane shortage. This of course comes as a complete surprise to our governor who doesn't seem to get the concept of cause and effect.
You also of course get a lot more road traffic and pollution from all those trucks now driving with lots of overtime and risks of road accidents and spillage, trying to do what a pipeline was doing in a very environmentally friendly fashion. So higher energy prices and shortages result, along with more actual environmental damage.
But that's ok, because pipelines are bad now, right?

Old NFo and drjim: I suspect you're not wrong.
